Started tearing into my lq4 today. As I was taking the harness off and identifying and labeling sensors and such, I found one that I'm not quite sure what it is.

This is motor is kind of a mystery, I bought it already pulled from the vehicle and was told it was from a 2005 2500. As I started looking more into it it seems that it is actually 2002-2003 model, according to the PCM.

Anyway, the sensor in question is on the passenger side of the block just above the oil pan, in the rear (pic below). I think it is the crankshaft position sensor, but the reason I'm not sure is that I have no oil temperature sensor. According to the source I have, the oil temperature sensor should be on the driver side block just under the exhaust manifold; however, on my motor all I have is the oil cooler lines in that area. Anyone have any idea?

Crank sensor

ETA I've worked on a ton of gen 3/4 ls motors and have never seen an oil temp sensor.
 
Yeah I've gotten a lot of information from there. That's how I found out I had an '03 motor instead of '05.

I haven't fully decided if I am going to tackle the harness work. Right now I'm pretty set on sending it off somewhere. I want a team208 tune so I was just going to send everything to them, but it sound like they're getting super busy.
