sensor locations

I have read about someone stranded on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere and was e-mailing a friend on how to diagnose his engine. He was being told try this and try that unplug this and unplug that.
This got me thinking..... I would like to have a file folder that tells me how to diagnose a no start and where are all those damned external sensors there everyone talks about.
The how to diagnose a no start is well documented and I have that covered.
So now I am trying to put together a small file (or large), of sensors and there locations. Pictures or illustrations of there locations would be great.
If anyone has what I may use, please post. At the end I'll post up my file for others like myself to have in there trucks for those emergency work in the middle of nowhere while it's raining or snowing.
If anyone could help please post it up to this thread.

Well, this might be a start:

Of course the late build 04's and newer the ICP is on the passenger valve cover.

That was going to be my next question.
How different ate the 6.0 from year to year as to there sensor locations?

Iv been working on the same thing for my truck I have a little folder put together with all my SGII gauges and operating values have been wrenching on my truck enough to know what all the sensors are for the most part. Its good to have theres alot of diffrent values and stuff. some trouble shoot procedures are easy while some are very complex.

there are really on to changes to location.
the icp on early build engines is behind the turbo.
the ebp can be under the degas bottle or at the t-stat housing, either way if you follow the tube off the left manifold its on top of it.

now the one thing people need to figure out is were the left side of the engine is.
engine parts are always refered to from the drives seat.
