Default Need help identifying part.

Who can help me identify this part?
I am doing intake manifold gaskets and plenum plate among other things on my 1996 Ram 1500 w/ 5.9 ltr.
The little sensor just to the left of the heater hose on the intake manifold broke. I'm not sure what it is called and that makes it hard to order.
its not the temperature sensor , that is located on the other side of the Tstat housing and has 2 wires,
The one I can't identify only has a single gray wire going to it.
Thanks for any help.

The one wire sensor is called a coolant temp sender. The 2 wir sensor is a coolant temp sensor. I just replaced the one on my 95 today. Got mine at advance auto for $18

On a 96 the dash gauge uses the single wire sensor(sender )and the PCM uses the two wire sensor.
