Coolant temp sensor

OK guys....I'm getting the run around here. I call the parts store, even the dodge dealer....haven't called cummins yet...don't have the engine number available to me at the moment.

I ask for a coolant temp sensor....they keep trying to sell me the intake air temp sensor. I tell them it's a 1 wire sensor, on the back of the head, NOT on the intake. Probably a 22-24mm socket size to replace it.

Can anyone tell me the part number for the coolant temp sensor?

I just got done studding/replacing the headgasket and I accidently broke it when I was trying to pull the head out of the trunk of a car. (pressure test) The truck runs great......I would feel much better knowing what the coolant temp is doing!
