Temp Sensor in 98 5.9 limited
 

Just bought my wife a 98 5.9 limited, wish I had bougt it for me
instead. Only problem I've had so far is my temperature gauge on the
dash is not working, it stays down at the bottom of the scale at all
times, She's been driving it just around town. Checked the block temp
with my fluke temp meter and it was at what seemed to be a normal temp.
I bought a new sensor at AutoZone, but it doesn't match either of the
ones in the rad. hoses. Which sensor is slaved to the gauge, or does
it get the info from the ecu based on more than one sensor? Any help
on this is appreciated.

TIA

They usually screw into the cylinder head, or the intake manifold on a V8.
Maybe the thermostat housing.
