Im thinking about ordering some gauges but I dont feel like putting the sender in the pan is a great idea, Im wondering is the old trans temp sender from the factory tied into the pcm? Like it makes the trans shift weird or anything?

Thanks,
Cheat.

 

I installed mine in the front servo test port, I ran the wires trough the fire wall
at the wire harness then across the fire wall under the hood seal then zip tied
it to trans dip stick and your there, my gauge works great there.
I tried to install a document to show location of port but could not.
It is on passenger side closest to the dip stick.

Thanks for the information, Also I see that you have just painted your gauge pod white, Here is a link to some interior paint for them.

Thanks for that info 01 Green, ive been wanting to do this but have only seen the "drill into the pan" write ups, and i didnt like that idea....

 

I didnt like the idea either, Just the fact that the fluid isnt as hot as the trans, Kinda like the water in your radiatior, Its not as hot as the motor. Also, if oyu plan on doing gauges the oil pressure and oil temp is best done with this:

Easy to install, Maybe 5 min to install and maybe 15 to wire, Easyest thing ive ever done.

 

Where is the trans temp at?

 

It just looks that way in the pic, it is tan but a shade lighter than my interior,
but thanks for the link, I'll add it to my link list.

 

It is hard to see in my pics but that is how I did my oil temp,it was fast and
easy and works great.

The stock trans temp sensor is in the trans on the valve body

 

i just did mine in the front servo port hooks up in minutes and zip tie it to the dip stick or it will burn on the pipes

 

Dang... Thats gonna be fun... Nice truck. Theres a GREEN TRUCK CLUB in the groups...

And do you have any pictures of how you did it???
