Default Coolant Temp Sensor

I have a Jeep TJ with a 5.9 engine and recently installed an electric fan. I'm in need of a way/adapter that would allow me to run two temp sensors from the original location next to the thermostat housing. Does any one have any ideas? I currently have an adapter in the top radiator hose but I cant get my fan's controller to match the actual temp of the engine. Thanks for any help.

Drill and tap the boss for the second sensor found on the older manifolds (pre-98), and install it in the manifold. Should be just to the drivers side of the thermostat housing.
