gauge install

Im trying to install a trans temp gauge, where the best places to tap into the wires for the Sender, Ignition (dimmer switch) and ground wires.
I overheated the trans in Arizona last week . So I guess I need a gauge. Nothing was hurt but my pocket book for a trans service.

Thanks, Marc

if you go to dieselmanor.com i believe that have instructions online. The sender can just be tapped into i think a pink/yellow wire in the main harness under the dash and the dimmer i don't remember, but i know for sure dieselmanor.com has the intructions on there. Or you can get some add-a-circuits and just connect them to the fuse panel, 12v switched and dimmer fuse. and the ground wires should be common sense, just use the ground bolt behind the dash that i think 4 other grounds are going to

hello. i just installed my gauges last week and used the instructions provided by DeiselManor. everything went as planned. the only thing i wasn't clear about and received help from the fine peeps here was "where" to tap into to gain control on dimming the lights for the gauges
