I believe they are located in the intake manifold somewhere. Make sure the one that tells the computer the coolant temp is ACTUALLY giving out the correct temperature. I had a bad one one time in a 1993 Ford F-150, 5.8L....... no check engine light came on but hard to start. The bad sensor was telling the computer it was 32 degrees F when it was almost 80 degrees outside.!!
Garbage in=Garbage out.

Here is a video link from Youtube. There are 2 sensors, 1 for the guage and the other tells the on-board computer how hot/cold the coolant is. The one for the guage has 1-wire and the other one has 2 wires.
Hope this helps, ask more if you need to. What kind of problem are you having? No heat inside? Guage needle not getting into the normal area?

The alternator needs to be removed to easily access and locate coolant temperature sensor.For more details and ECT diagram on 2001 dodge ram click the link below and follow the details to replace the coolant sensor:-----

find temp sender turn key on and disconect wire from sender and earth it if guage moves to hot sender falty, if not guage faulty, or broken wire,or no power to guage

If you can find a buddy who owns a scan tool (a "code reader" won't give enough information) look at the data stream and note the coolant temperature with the engine stone cold. It should be close to the ambient temperature. Next, drive the vehicle until it's up to operating temperature and, again, take note of the coolant temperature. It should be somewhere around 210 degrees F. If it's not, the coolant temperature sensor is probably bad. If you can't get access to a scan tool, just replace the coolant temperature sensor. They're pretty cheap. You'll probably find it somewhere around the thermostat housing.

HOT WIRE COOLANT FAN. STILL DONT TURN ON REPLACE FAN ASSEMBLY. IF COOLANT FAN DOES TURN ON WHEN HOT WIRED.CHECK THE FAN RELAY OR FUSE ALSO SCAN VECHICLE FOR FAULTY COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR IF ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE IS 190 DEGREES AND SCANNER SHOWS 80 OR LOWER COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAULTY.

you know when its wrong the guage goes to the top,then drops.the temp guage is notoriously wrong on most cars,so if your not losing power,water,leave it.(the top hose is hot,about boiling point,the botom should be just warm)thats what the radiator does......

the codew is to detect a bad thermostat, it can also be set by a bad engine coolant temperature sensor, if you have not replaced these then I would try the ECT first.

Your truck does not have to be low on water to be running hot...you need to verify the tempature of the cooling system, and the head temp...then you will be albe to tell if it is actually overheating , or just an indication problem. Be very careful as hot engine coolant can scald you badly (know from experience)
