Good to know that the sensors can be used in both applications. It sucks you have to splice into the harness but at least there is an option that works.

I don't think anyone makes the 1-wire sensor anymore. If you buy the sensor, it will probably be the 2-wire one; and if it's for the gauge, you will have to get a 2-wire connector/pigtail for it. Some of the 2-wire sensors come with the "multi-purpose" 2-wire connector/pigtail included for as little as $8 total; others do not. The pigtail can cost up to $50, depending on where you buy it. Go figure.

I replaced my sensors back in March and was able to get the 1 wire and two wire plug sensors for mine from Rock Auto. They were GM sensors. I had real bad luck with a faulty coolant temp sensor from the auto parts store. I had a failure and the sensor would not read over 90 degrees and I almost overheated my new combo but had my eye on the gauges so I caught it before the temp got over 230.
