but now that you mention, there’s two coolant sensors?? I only knew of the one I’ve replaced and my gauge still doesn’t work. Where is the second one located?

Only thing I can figure, it was Ford's way to overcome their lousy gauges. 
Ok kicks on a light when over heating got it.
My 02 Durango sounds an alarm when the gauge gets in the high range so I found out once when pulling my car trailer and stuck in traffic.
Come to find out the electric pusher fan that runs when the AC is on was failing.
You did not see this at speed as air was pushed thru the condenser & radiator.

To the original thread starter; I am getting conflicting info as to if the 1986 diesel had the two senders for the temp gauge. Some say it did, but I looked in the 1986 diagrams and it does not show it wired that way. I know my 1989 is wired that way, but the earlier diesel trucks may not be. If you can't find the other sender, then do not worry about it.
