what is the part number on those? i need to do my plugs and i wanted to get me some of those since ive heard such good things about them in our trucks. also, she doesnt want to replace the plugs, she just wants the plugs and wires out of the way so that she can reach the sensor better..

The part number listed in this picture...

But like I said before, a deep socket (usually the 1/2" drive sockets are the deepest ones) should reach.
And on a side note... it never ceases to amaze me the bull s*** your boyfriend tells you. You don't need to remove the spark plugs, just pull the wires out of your way, and of course it won't harm your motor... what do you think happens when you do a tune up and replace all those parts?!

Yeah My boyfriend tells me that Im doing everything wrong, and thats not the right way of doing it, I think he says that so that I cant prove him wrong. Also I dont think he lieks the fact that his girlfriend has a truck, let alone that she actually works on it herself and doesnt take it into a mechanic, or ask him to do it for her.
But I just prove him wrong pretty much everytime. But I usually just go on here and ask when I have a problem, cause you guys dont bitch at me for asking questions that I dont know the answer to... lol anyways thanks for the replies!

coadster there are 2 coolant temp sensors. 1 with 2 wires goes to the computer and 1 with 1 wire goes to the guage. So since I'm guessing you have gotten a code for the coolant sensor you should replace the 2 wire one. One is on the right side of the thermostat housing and one on the left.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! THAT SOLVES ALL MY PROBLEMS!!! Thanks!!!!
I drove to 6 different auto parts stores today. None of them had the right one... I was mislead by a friend who said they'res only one. *@#^!!!!

Attatched video

Ok I changed the oil pressure switch, and the TPS, my truck is still flashing with the oil light and pressure. Thats a link to my video I took of the truck while I was driving to better show you guys.
When I press the gas, the light goes off, but when i hit the break the light turns off. And the oil pressure drops completly when Im at a stop, So I dont know if you guys have any suggestions to what it could be since its no the switch or sensor?
