Default ECT Sensor

I've been looking for the ECT resistance vs temperature specs, but have been unable to find that info for this truck, does anyone have this data or know where I can find it?

Nobody has this data? I heard that the sensor for the 3rd gen is the same as used in the 2nd, and I recall that Haynes used to have this info in their older truck manuals, if anyone has access to a 2nd gen Dakota manual I would appreciate if they could have a look.

I did some searching around, but all I could find was sensor data for GM. It was on autozones website. Sorry.

Thanks for the effort, I've had the same results. I guess that Mopar feels that no one should question the output of their on-board-diagnostics, so we don't have a need to know the actual sensor specs. I was looking for the values so that I could put together a control unit to interface the ECT to my PWM fan controller, but I guess it would be safer and more predicable to add a thermal sensor with known specs & not tamper with the Mopar sensor.
