Does anybody know specifically where the temperature probe is for the overhead console? It's been amusing watching the overhead read a consistant -40*F when it's been at least 20F above zero. I figure it's time to fix that.

if you are looking at the front of the truck with the hood open it is mounted on the rad. support just to the right of the ac condensor (drivers side)

The sensor on your '01 is located on the back side of the grill. A -40* reading means the sensor circuit is open. Measure the resistance to find out where it's open. The resistance should be between 336k ohms (-40F) and 2.488k ohms (131F).

That makes sense now because I've had the hood off before, and more than likely fubarred something in the wiring. I was rebuilding the engine in my dad's shop in the back where it isn't cemented so pulling the engine with a cherry picker was not an option, and thus had to pull the hood and use a loader tractor to pull it up and out. Schweet gives me something else to fix now

there's a wire connector about 1/2 way back on the hood by your hood light, mine came uncliped, check there first

yeah I know the clip now...schweetness. should be able to see if this truck of mine will start in the next couple weeks haha
