Try a post in parts wanted, you may be able to pick a good second hand one up from one of the members.

A sensor from a Toyota carolla of around the same year as the truck will fit, put one in mine, prob several other models toyota's will also fit, feck sight cheaper than roughnecks

There are two types of connector on the sensor, one has a spade, one a shaped plastic socket end, that's the difference. You may have to cut your plug and fit a spade terminal.

I don't know why they changed connector, I wouldn't be surprised if there is different temp to set fan on, as the head problems came to light, there is usually a reason to change things. It's not just to annoy people.
