Hey guys,
First post here. Just picked this truck up a week ago or so, and I was hoping I could get some help with a couple of issues I'm having. Luckily (or unluckily) they both have to do with the same part. I was in the middle of replacing the ECT sensor and sender on my 2.3. The temp gauge wasn't reading anything, so I just replaced both since it was cheap enough. I know the truck warms up, it blows hot heat so I'm just assuming it's one of the two. Anyhow, it seems I tugged a little too hard on one of the hoses trying to get the sensor out (ended up having to torch it + PB Blaster). The hose ripped out of its spot, taking the piece of plastic it slides over with it. As you see in the first picture (red arrow), there's now just a hole in this plastic hose junction piece. I was wondering what that part is technically called, and if I had to replace the whole piece or if just that end piece comes off. Also, there's a cap/cylinder looking thing on the back of that (yellow arrow in picture), that has a plug with one wire coming out of it. That piece has been leaking coolant since I got the truck, so I was also wondering what the name of that part was. I included a second picture that was taken from behind that piece, facing towards the front of the truck. Thanks, any help would be much appreciated.
