Hi.  I've asked around for the last few days, and every parts store is 
telling me that not just any three-wire sensor will do.  Are they all 
just rying to sell me a more expensive part.  I've heard that some have 
different threading and different temp. ratings.  Anyway, does anyone 
here know the deal for sure?  I've asked a few parts stores for a generic 
3-wire sensor, and they claim not to have one.

I'd like to get back on the road, so any help would be appreciated.
