* On the cylinder head: This is the most common location. Look for a sensor screwed into the cylinder head, often near the thermostat housing or towards the front of the engine. It's usually a smaller sensor than the other sensors in that area.
* On the intake manifold: Less common, but possible on some model years. This would also be a smaller sensor screwed into the intake manifold.
To be certain:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource for the precise location on your specific year and model Dodge truck.
2. Use a repair manual or online diagrams: A repair manual (like a Chilton or Haynes manual) or online diagrams specific to your year and model truck will show a detailed diagram of the engine and its sensors.
3. Visual Inspection: Carefully examine the engine, especially around the thermostat housing and intake manifold. Look for a sensor with one or two wires connected to it. Be careful, as the engine will be hot if recently running.
Remember to always disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on any electrical components.
