Swapping outside temperature sensor

Hi all, I'm a new member...Like Ford Trucks! Got 1979 F150 4X4 400ci Bored, cammed, Big 'ol tires. My son calls it the Barney truck 'cause it's kinda purple. And a 2003 f150 xlt screw, plus a 2004 f150 lariat screw. Told ya I like 'em. Anyway, got an open question for you all to ponder. I recently noticed my 2004 outside temp reading is constantly 5-6 degress F lower than what my 2003 displays, the 2003l is very acurrate as per local radio stations and retail/bank temp signs. Anybody know if I can swap the 2003 with the 2004 to see if the problem follows sensor? I hear there is some "re-programming" that could also fix it.
