I went to my local junkyard and they have yards all over this state and ajoining states. Closes '98 is 1.5 hrs away and they could not confirm whether or not they actually have the housing lol. I may try that one off ebay and have them drill and tap for the 2nd sensor. Kinda expensive but Id have to take time off work to drive to yards looking for one.

If they have the housing, make sure it is not perforated, doesn't have holes where there are not to be any holes. Then when you change it do a cooling system flush and put in new antifreeze and distilled water. Or splurge and get the correct metal housing, but also flush the cooling system. The correct antifreeze and water mixture should protect the various metals used in the engine. Doesn't Rock Auto have the part?

Do an online order. You don't have to drive 3 hours. Just make sure they will allow a return if it is perforated from corrosion. If they will not go some place else or buy the expensive one..
