How I did mine what I got a 1/2 brass T and cut the cooling line coming back into the pan. Put compression fittings on them and put the T in between them. than on the T side put the sensor turned out pretty good, because you are getting the true reading of what is coming back off your cooler instead of whats in the pan In my opinion the pan is going to be way cooler than whats coming off their. also that way you dont have to mess around with tapping a hole in your pan and tig welding it which you can do that if thats the way you wanna go

not picking on ya, but thats not correct, the pan can/will be a lot hotter than the what the cooler is putting back in there, and using the hot side cooler line will be the hottest part you see but still be a bit hotter than whats in the pan, the most accurate place is the pan, or one of the plugs on the passenger side of the trans, or putting it in the hot side cooler line will all but garentee you will never overheat the fluid

ok well thanks! Hey also can you help out just a bit more? I need to hook up the wires that go with this gauge. the install directions are pretty ***ue do you know what wires I can use under the dash or fuse box, for the direct 12volt power and indirect 12 volt power. I got the ground figured out and the other wire goes to the tranny temp sensor. It is a glow shift gauge. any help for this noob diesel guy would be greatly appreciated! thanks

OK well I am not cutting lines, and just so you know, I have talked with several different people and all have said that the 2008 dodge stopped putting test plugs on the transmission. So it gives you limited options!!! cut the cooling line, buy an after market pan or tap the OEM pan. F%#King BS, damn why does this have to be so hard!!?!?
