I think thats the V6 one, isn't the LS1 temp sensor a 2 pin? Is this sensor you want in the drivers side cylinder head?
How about this one: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=929858

Yeah the 98s are a different part number, maybe because the temp gauge actually works in the 98s, thats why the 98 is a 3 wire instead of a 2 wire and dummy gauge for the 99s-up. I think the GM part number for the 98s is 12551708 and 99-up is 12608814
