Hi, my truck has been running hot. I have bought a temprature sensor and want to put it on, but cant find where it goes. Also I have changed the thermostat, checked all the hoses and connections for leaks and found none. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks

*Flush radiator
*Check serpentine belt and tensioner
*Make sure your cooling fan kicks on when needed.
*Sometimes, the bottom hose can collapse inside (but still look good outside) resulting in reduced flow.
*leaky headgasket: test for exhaust gas in coolant
