Temperature sender mounted in the transmission fluid cooling line just as it exits the transmission.

Parts used for mounting of the probe on the heater hose as it comes out of the block. By cutting about 2 inches from the black hose and adding a fitting with the temperature probe and short threaded fitting. This was a simple install. The probe was originally installed on the air bleeder port where the top radiator hose fitting is. The disadvantage with the probe in the air vent port is that there is a low flow of coolant there until the T-stat opens. In the new location, temperature readings are more precise.

Old mounting of temperature probe for engine coolant

Plug removed for oil temperature probe.

Oil temperature probe installed.

Just a 1/2 inch to 1/8 inch pipe fitting was all that was needed to mount the probe.

By drilling open the back side of the pipe fitting to allow oil to flow around the probe. This give faster readings in change of temperature.

While digging around the toolbox, this valve was found to be a perfect air bleeder valve to replace to temperature probe.

Installed a temperature sender in the Rear Differential.
