Not knowing your truck year and engine details it is very difficult to offer a course of action. The instrumental panel temp gauge uses a separate, single wire sensor which is usually is screwed into cylinder head. The ECM uses a dedicated two wire sensor which is screwed into intake manifold water jacket next the thermostat outlet.
