You can print a full page sized diagram of the left side here http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/Facts/f...ocations-l.gif

Never seen a diagram for the right side, not really much there to show.

Infidel,
The coolant temp sensor that the auto parts store sold me has a fitting for a 1/2" socket. What size is correct for the truck so I can make sure I get the right one?

No where near right.
This thing is huge... I don't know what size off hand, I think its over 1"

I believe I had to go through Cummins to get it, I dont think I got it through autozone, or advance auto, ect.
