T stat

I'm debating whether I need to do my water pump if I'm replacing my tstat. Do I need to replace my sensor as well? I got 86k on the clock.

At 75k i changed just the sensor and tstat. I figure the pump works or it doesn't, and mine works.

My codes pointed to likely T-stat issues for me but the sensor is right there and takes only a couple minutes to change if you are already swapping the tstat.
