Where are you guys installing the transmission temp sender on the 48RE factory tranny.

The governor test port which is the back port facing the door on the passenger side. I chose to use the cooler line from massdiesel.com.

Hey Bad Ramer jamer, where did you get that idea?? Everybody's copying you?? If you need my address for commision checks let me know

Anyway, not that I'm Just don't dilly dally around while you get this fitting set up, have it ready or you'll have around 2 quarts of ATF go on the ground

All in all I feel the hot line is the best way to go. It takes the temps of the fluid at there hottest. yes it also depends on the fluid going into the tranny however if it's over a certain temp, you gota change it out. It may come out at 300, but go in at 250, and you think your ok, when really your fluid is shot. Also the test ports work, but they do really take the temp of the case more or less. Once the fluid is in the tranny it pretty much is the same temp as the case but it won't see a change in temp as fast as the pan or hot line will. But then again to each his own.

Put it on the HOT line, according to DTT thats the only place to put it for a true reading. If anyone needs a stock tranny line, i have one for sale. Half the price of a made up one. Unless you want me to make it into one for you then give me a few days. PM if you want it.

I'll post this here too.


Here's the info on the fitting curtisy of TAS05CTD610

The part is avalible from Mcmaster car. I used this part number (wanted steel as it's a tad stronger than brass)
5929K146

That's 1/2" x 3/8" (female pipe) x 1/2" I went with the 3/8's inch center cause it's 10 dollars cheeper then went with a 3/8's by 1/4 reducer. This also makes sure the probe wont' block the oil flow.

This is a swage lock connection, however the way it's designed it's not just one cone that pinches the tube, there's actually two per side, very high quality. I havn't had any leaks in over 4,000 miles. Most will say they'll vibrate loose, or this or that, but when you look at what these are used for you'll see. Most catipiller, Volvo, and off road trucks, dozers and hoes all use these on the steel hydrolic lines. I just marked a line on the trans line half way, measure 1/4" away from this, and that's what I cut outa the line (you have to cut about 1/2" outa the line) Check it out Mcmaster has drawings and everything, works great in my case and in fact I check it this morning (been checking for leaks once a month, still none) Any questions, feel free to PM me, or E-mail me

The "search" button is the almighty god, however there's one other thing to using it, actually reading what's in it

Us good idea people gota stick together to come up with more good ideas. What did you do with your other fitting??

I threw it at a cat that was digging in my trash can.
