    The temp sensor is located just behind the grille of your truck on the radiator support.

    Every truck I've seen with one it's mounted on the mirror bracket. Little grey probe.

    Called Rush Pete here in Tampa Russ the service guy said it was located in different areas according to the vin, he did say most newer ones were under the drivers side mirror like others have stated.

    Call a Pete dealer with your last 6 of the vin and they can tell you exactly where it is.
