Temp sending unit location
The sender for the guage is on the passenger side of the head towards the rear, kind of a tricky place to get to. You may have another temperature sender near the thermostat housing if your truck has a computer; it doesn't affect the guage though.

Ok thanks. That's what happens when you stretch out these things, I'm sure I forgot to hook it back up when I had the head off about a year ago, but I just now got it running again. I'll hunt around for it.

I found it. Thanks, Can someone verify the correct wire for me. There is a wire in a plastic loom that is hooked into a bracket right behind the head. Is this the correct wire? I couldn't tell what color it was other than it was darak, it is cut off too so it has no end on it.

That sounds like it, I seem to remember mine as a dark color. Haynes manual says it's red-white stripe.
