Iirc, the oil rails are the same part # for left and right side. On the later trucks with the ICP sensor in the passenger side valve cover, the plug goes in the unused hole on the driver side oil rail.

Thanks Rusty,
I've got a 2007 ,so I don't need that short plug.I'll post some pics here later,the driver side plug was worn and the passenger side was pretty near gone.I had long crank for awhile and then the no start when hot started,hopefully I get here back together tomorrow.
