I have been trying to get my temp sensor working for a while, and have been reading other posts from people with similar problems but nobody seems to have the fix yet.

Does anybody have a part number for the sensor that is controlling the temp guage? I have replaced the t-stat, both temp snsors, converted the sensor on the side of the engine to a standard 2-pin wiring harness from the original 1-pin harness. I have tried 2 different sensors from different manufactureres but it seems that the guage reads at a different ohm rating then the sensors that I am putting in the truck. The temp sensor only goes up to about 100-105. It was reading intermittent with the original 1-pin sensor but none of the new 2-pin sensors get above 105 which leads me to believe the issue is with the sensor ohm rating not the guage.
