thx - I read the link but still don't get it ........ the port on the rear passenger side of transmission (as per edge juice install) has my sensor for my manual guage.

I have a second sensor from edge sitting here - but no port to plug/tap into. Were you saying to use one of the lines somehow ??

sorry - good info - just I am :jr diesel:

ok - I re-read that and it kinda makes sense - I just don't know what lines are what - but sure I can figure out from a forum/friend or my chilton dodge book

Did you say this part with the sensor thread built in costs $95 ? IS it hard to replace the existing line with this ?

Any cheaper way of doing it - I mean - I already have a sensor in the port mentioned - I was just wanting to plug the other one in so I had two sensors working.

:P

The problem with the Port that you have it in has "Stagnet" oil in it and is only reading the trans case temp and not the actual real life oil temp. The line is the front line as it comes out the driverside of the tranny and it is really easy to replace. This is the hottest oil in the system and is the only place to get the accurate oil temp from. Measuring oil in the pan is inaccurate also. it is the oil that has already came back from the cooler and is the coolest oil in the system. I have tried the pan and port and saw no difference and then added the line with a sensor in it at the same time as I had a sensor in the pan yet and saw an average temp difference of 30-50 degrees hotter at the converter out line at normal operating temps. But during town driving it would be as much as 50-80 gegrees different. By the time you saw a hot reading at the pan or the port it is way too late and the tranny has already been deep fried. A lot of people just cut the line and used compression fittings to add a fitting to add a sensor in the line themselves but that creates another point to fail and leak in my opinion. If you want cheap You could go with this part it would be a bit more accurate than the port reading but in extreme cold temps or wet weather I think it could cause a lower reading. http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo.asp?number=ACUTEMP_ADAPTER
