So there a few people having this issue but the parts are back ordered till March. Here are the napa part numbers for a sensor and pigtail that will work for you.

Great. Thanks for that Chris. Better to have it for sure. So this combo is plug and play.

No it is not, you will have to splice 2 wires. Or remove the pins from the stock connector and and reuse.

I just got a oem from my dealership today, my sensor is reading to hot , 130 when it should be 100 ish f, I'm gonna do a ohm test on both sensors in hot water to see if thiers a difference between the two.
My dealer told me today, they had 4 phone calls about high coolant temps ,but we're blaming it on the 2020 flash.
Sensor was 50 bucks, not worth wasting the time to do the warranty thing.
I'll post my findings.

I tested both sensors, the old one was .50 ohms more than the new one while in a cup of hot water.
I field tested the new sensor, sled ran bang on 100f , I stopped and let temp crawl up to 130f , run the sled in deep sno again and went back to 100f , so the new sensor fixed my high temp issue
