i got the diprocol tranny temp sender which is 1/8npt. does any one know if the plug coming out of the tranny is also 1/8npt?

 

you will need a bell housing reducer and one other brass piece - so you will not put the sensor directly into the test port! I will look for post and come back...

 

here you go.

the post and link to webpage and webpage PDF file.. look on page 3 of PDF file...

ps: You will need to put liquid teflon thread sealant on all three parts... trust me.. .....It does not hurt the grounding of the sensor!

 

Be sure and put tape on the sensor. I got home from my initial run and had drips under the truck. I thought they were condensation drops UH NO, they were tranny fluid. I check under the truck and the whole underside was peppered with drips

I used the tape and haven't had another problem. We'll see if the tranny survives...

ok what do these two parts look like. ive been to the hardware and have no clue...if any one has pictures it would be greatly appretiated guys. thanks judd mcclure

 

btw - I had good success spray painting to match color.
with your VIN any dealer can get you a can of paint.

 

what hardware store are you guys getting these bell reducers at? thanks

 

ok well i figured out a way to make it all work......the probe doesnt not stick out of the ushing that i have put together either.....do you think that is a bad thing, or will fluid still reach the probe even though it is set back some?
