Im new here. I have a 2004 F150 Xcab with a 4.6. I want to install a temperature guage too the transmission and i would like to know where i instal the electric sensor on the transmission.

 

Mine had a port right on the side of the transmission. This is for the 5.4 but I think they're the same.

 

do you know where it was on the transmission
thanqs

 

this might not help but go buy a Edge, lots of gauges

 

If you find this port location please let me know. I am also in the same process but I do not know where to connect the sensor into the transmission as well. Some pics of the location would be greatly helpful.

I can either use a mechanical or electrical trans temp gauge. Which would you guys go with? I have read where electrical gauges are easy to install but are not reliable. It looks like I will have to cut a trans line either way to install electrical or mechanical. If you look at my photos though I believe that there is a port on the side of the tranny for a gauge hook-up. I have also read that if you install a gauge in that port you will not receive a true temp reading. I do not want to drill the trans pan to install a gauge. I just want a good, dependable gauge electrical or mechanical that I can get accurate readings with.

 

HI!... I'd go MECHANICAL but everyone here already knows how I feel about this subject. So I'll leave it at that............
