4.6L V8 Ford Explorer Engine temperature sensors

There is one to the left of the thermostat housing.

I have looked there. I have seen that on older models but not mine. I have read there are 2. Any other suggestions as to where to look.

Thats where it should be, somewhere around the thermostat housing. But from what I can tell there may be another one on the right side, (passenger) in the back of the head.

Yes, I think that's right. I found a YouTube video that shows the intake off of one and you can see one and the guy says it's a 2007 4.6 l V8

Ok, so now my truck did something different today. The fan was on and running full blast like it does intermittently every time I drive it but then the fan sounded like it was running at half speed and not roaring as loud. So I began to accelerate and it seemed to not have as much power like the transmission may be slipping, I Floored it and It seemed to have reduced power, then when I let out of it, it stayed reved to about 3000 RPMs and I could hear a whistle. I thought that it might be something with the computer, then disconnected the battery for about 10 minutes, hooked it back up and immediately started the engine and the fan was running full blast. I did not unhook the battery until the engine was cooled off.

I have seen a lot of people asking about a whistle sound. I don't know what it is, but is got to be something. I'd like to know that one.

I have seen an article about a guy who had ongoing fan issues and it turned out to be a part inside his transmission. After having the fan/transmission issue today I am inclined to believe that they are connected. The whistle almost sounded like something was spinning very very fast.

Very interesting...
