Right on! Thanks for the info. Got one on the way! Accurate gauges are GOOD gauges. Anyone seen an A-miller pod that'll hold four gauges? Thanks again

I read my tranny temp via the Attitude Monitor (Edge Juice) It reads temp from the trucks computer. I understand the sensor is in the tranny valve body.

Best place to pull it from is at the entrance to the Air/Fluid cooler up front. Thats the hottest place. One in the pan will give you the other end of it.

The fluid leaves the tranny through a preheater on the side of the block that is cooled or warmed by the engine cooling fluid. From there it goes to the
cooler up front which has a in line thermostat that opens at a preset temp.
It circulates thru the cooler and back to the pan. I don't know if there is a bye pass at the Fluid to Fluid heater/cooler on the side of the block that sends it back to the tranny in a effort heat the fluid up quickly untill the thermostat opens up front.
