Hi all,

Confirming, there are two single-wire coolant temp sending units on the 2.9l engine, correct? From front bumper looking in, I can see two very similar units, both with threaded rods where a simple connector slides over. One of these is opposite coolant temp sensor, on the right side, and then the other is lower, almost near exhaust headers. Are these both talking to the dashboard? or is another an oil temp sender? I can post a pic later if needed. The wiring is badly chewed up to each, so hoping to replace both but want to make sure I get the right thing.

Thanks!
