1/8"NPT is the thread size for the tranny ports.


12-14' of good hose
1 gauge (0-250 should do you for ALL tranny reading... maybe 200psi would cover it all)

I use a 200 psi gauge connected to an 18" grease gun hose, works great.
GG hoses are rated at over 1000 psi.

Another great idea, Bill. Is that hose long enough to get thru the transfer case shifter opening into the cab?
