Water temp sensor
I want to find my water temp sensor on my 1995 F150 4.9L but the liature on its location isn't clear. Can I get to the sensor easly or I am I going to need to remove parts to get in there?

Take a look at this web page;

Looks to me like it is located under the #6 intake/exhaust, with only the one plug to remove to twist it out.
Looks like it should cost around $20 to $30 depending on where you by it from.

There are 2 Temperature sensor.
One is located at the T'stat housing and is used by PCM
Another is located at engine block, right under the intake #6 and is used by Temperature gauge at instrument cluster.

In my experience, the best way to reach it is getting under truck, right under Starter you can pass through your right hand and tool. Cold engine of course but you have to remove first the coolant from engine or can get a coolant bath...
There is no need to remove any more parts...
There is an alternative way, using 2 long extensions (12" each), socket and ratchet been positioned at the right fender. After disconnecting the sensor wire, you can reach the sensor.
