Does it have to go in the hose?  I got one of these

at my local auto parts store with the sensor that pushed into the radiator
fins, and it seemed to work just fine.

Probably, but I can't.  My feeling is that, if you are happy with what
you've been using, it's silly trying to save a few dollars on something
cheaper.  The cheap stuff will cost more in the long run even if they give
it to you for free and it only shortens the life of the box by 10%.
