How do you install this guage? Can it attach to the transmission cooler line?

I cut the rubber transmission line between the transmission and the entrance of the transmission cooler. I inserted a brass tee which reconnected the hose and the sensor screwed into. I selected this location as its easy to access and it will read the highest temperature seen by the fluid.

The one i recieved has a sensor that is threaded - it will screw into the pressure port on the side of the tranny (4l60-E) (not sure about ford or dodge ) where you would attach your diagnostic pressure gauge. I bought the mag -hytec pan that had the threaded hole for the sensor but it says in instructions that it can be installed in pressure port on driver side of case./ hope this helps.

You can install on the cooler line if you have the proper hardware, I dont think it will be as accurate as installing into the transmission, I have a 96 dodge ram 1500 and there was a spot already plugged that I used it was on the rear passenger side of the transmission, I would recommend using teflon tape or something like it for a nice seal

You would need a line adapter. It has an 1/8th pipe plug. I put it in a port on the side of the transmission.

If you do a "FULL" drain (Meaning dropping the fluid pan, disconnecting the line to the trans-cooler then you'll need about 9 Qts. BTW- there's no "dip-stick" so you'll have to purchase one if you havent done so already (Ebay is your best bet)

The gauge, a mounting bracket for under dash mounting, the sending unit, and a couple adapters. You need to supply the wire to hook it up.

You have to buy the radiator for a manual transmission without the line coolers. A manual transmission radiator should be a simple switch out. Just look for the one without transcooler lines.

Do you mean the Mass Air Flow sensor? if so, you just transfer the part. the directions are really straight forward and easy. Just go step by step.

Most automatic transmission cars have a trans fluid cooler built into the radiator. This mishimoto radiator does not have the cooler built in like. You could run this radiator but would need to install a remote transmission cooler.

If you are a handy man or woman, then you can do it yourself. It needs a dedicated line with #8 AWG, 2 conductor w/g, and a 2 pole 40A breaker. It's been awhile since I installed mine but a check valve is important. I don't think it's that complicated if you follow the instructions, you should be just fine.

Suggest you do a bit of research. First you need to determine the location of your transmission cooling lines. If your looking for additional cooling without things like towing, racing, desert running, then the smaller unit will work. My choice was based on eliminating the radiator cooler due to problems Nissan was having with leaks. Research your needs. There are a lot of choices and variables in this area.

You will have to run the wire from the transom transducer to the display head. FYI, just a hint, mount the transducer first, then run the wire (or atleast have the transducer passed around the motor or close by where you intend to mount it) You dont want to run the wire and realize you should have gone around a hatch or motor mount or whatever and have to pull the wire back out; you should never cut the transducer wire, infact you should lay it out flat against itself back and forth vs coiling up any slack, they say the coiling is worse for signal loss.Great unit for the money, good luck on the install.

I am looking at an 08 6.4 cooler right now and although the tru cool can be made to work it looks like the factory is the same if not better than the tru cool model in question. I would probably check out the for diesel forums for a better recommendation

You can install it wherever. Better to be in the oil pan if possible to see just what your engine or transmission is sucking in. You could also cut the hose and use some brass fittings to mount the sensor inline. Just make sure it's all secured well of course.

If your trans fluid lines are leaking I would suggest replacing them. If the bottom of your radiator is leaking where they enter it I would suggest a new radiator. One of those would be the best fix. That being said, I have used these little coolers for multiple fluid cooling applications, not just power steering. The most important part is having a way to clamp or seal in the fluid pressure. Usually for trans lines, you dont want hose clamps because they are liable to leak.

FYI, If you need to remove transmission cooling lines turn slowly (screw in and out) and if necessary use a little dw40). *writing this response because the other posting mentioned buying new transmission lines, and with care you can usually avoid breaking then.

I have this fan on my transmission Cooler for my dragster. I just have an on and off toggle switch for its one speed. So you could possibly put a potentiator style switch on it so you would have different speeds but I'm not the expert on that.

Presumably, yes, but do not try to install it in place of the stock filter. Install it int the transmission cooling lines going to the radiator or to the transmission cooler. Note the direction of fluid flow. I would install it in the cooler return line.

In the past i have built a cable up,using a small bike type brake cable! you mite try it,you will have to run it of the lower shifter cable on the trans .you will need to run the top end of the cable into the dash and hook it up if it is a dash mounted needle. If it is in the column it more work than it a cable! hope i helped out..good luck on the build!

The Transmission line are two metal lines that connect from the Transmission housing to the radiator side tank, you can't mist it
