I just got one from a junk yard 30mins away for $10 so I am going to try that.

This is the most likely thing as it was disconnected when I did the plenum and it doesnt looking in the best condition.

For $10 I will try this and if it doesnt work I will do what you had said about testing everything.

My temp gauge will work for a few minutes when you first start the truck and then drops down to nothing.

Regardless I am still getting the p0118 code, any ideas?

Did you have any luck finding the corporate? Having the same issue and with new sensor, code went away but coolant fan will only run on high constant and temp gauge does not work..
