    I have a 2015 prostar have looked all over for the sensor you show. Including the city horn but have been unable to find it. Can anyone help me locate this thing?

    The temperature sensor is right there on all the ones I've looked and was clipped to the city horn bracket. I'm sorry I'm not much help if its not there.

    2015 prostars I drove had the sensors clipped to the city horn. I got a 2016 now and the sensor is not on the city horn. IN fact, the horn bracket itself is different. For F###s sake, its 20 degrees in the cab and the truck will still only idle for 5 minutes

    It's December and I've managed to still stay under 29% idle time.

    Had my DPF cleaned in May 2015. My little generators which run my A/C unit died this summer (so had to idle A Lot) and discovered bumping the idle up to 1000 RPM seems to prevent clogging up the DPF with soot.
