The tank should have come with the sensor in it, if you got it from the right
reseller. Most of the eBay listings say it comes with the sensor.

If you have an exact replacement, it should go in. They go in tight, because
if they didn't, it would leak under pressure.

Install videos don't even show any removal or install of the sensor, and aluminum
aftermarket ones don't even have a place for it, the one I saw.

Resurrecting a dead thread here but hoping to get related info. Looks like I'm going to need to replace my coolant tank because of a crack on the bottom. I was considering an aluminum one since they're the same price as the Dorman one. But I noticed the aluminum ones don't have the sensor plug in. What do you do with the connector? Disable the system it is connected to?
