Where/how did you install your tranny temp sensor and how do you like the results?

 

I tapped the wire into the computer from the stock gauge.
I'm trying to learn where that gauge measures, but so far no luck.

I haven't towed heavy yet (in a few weeks)... so I don't know what temps I'll see then.

Once I found the right wire (see my gallery for a general pic), this was easy to do and cheaper than installing a second sensor. It surely measures temperatures fine... though on a few occasions I've seen temperature spikes I don't yet understand.

Also, with my knack for plumbing (it always leaks a little...) I'm just as glad that I didn't create a place for trans fluid to leak.

 

Thanks Dave, what temp readings are you getting so far?

 

typical city driving with ambient temps 30-50 have been 135 to 145. I have seen it get to 170 after longer warm up.

Twice, and I'm still wondering why..., for no apparent reason it hit 190 - but then cooled back to 170 by itself.

No towing yet. In a few weeks I'm pulling a 9,000# trailer 600 miles. We will see.

 

Thanks again
