@Mfpaul73 , these Wranglers seem to be so finicky when it comes to sensors, so I went with the MOPAR one even though it was quite a bit more costly.
On the tube, I used a Dorman and it works fine. I did read on this site, I think, that someone had problems threading it in the pump after adding thread sealant. They suggested removing the paint that is on the threads. I did just that and used Permatex high temp thread sealant on the tube and the sensor and everything worked smoothly and no leaks. Don't put the sealant all the way down to the ends of the threads on the pipe of sensor that way you don't get it in the cooling system.

As an alternative to the tube, I thought about doing something like this and just getting a longer heater hose, or splicing in one that is shaped like the tube. If you ever need to replace that tube, the pump has to come off because other things are in the way when trying to remove or install in on the engine. I decided not to because the hadn't rusted through or anything and I don't live in a road salt area, It is an alternative though.
