I have an 02

I have it at the service dept getting the Gauge pod put in..They are auto meters with boost bypass/ A/F (yes its worthless but cool) and the Tranny temp.

they are telling me that they have to drill the pan for the tranny..Is this correct?? SVTSPANK showed me his brass fitting spot on his from his webpage and I printed it and took it to them

I just wonder if the 02's dont have that spot and the 01's do.
since spanks is an 01

Any input would be appreciated..Remember it is an 2002!!

Thanks
Matt

 

Matt ... I don't think there is any on the '02 stock pan ... I don't
have mine here at the house or I would look for ya....

 

This is what hes talking about. There is usually a brass plug there.

 

DEIMATT - I have an 02 and would be glad to help you out with a digital pic. Let me know what you need.... Are you asking if the 02 has a bung on the oil pan for the probe or sending unit? On my F350 Power Stroke they took out the sending unit for the Oil Temp Gauge and replaced it with one that came with the oil temp gauge. On the F350 the probe went in the transmission. Let me know how I can help you.

Spankdog beat me to it. He is right. On the L it is pulged and on the 350 it has a sending unit.

 

that plug is on the drivers side just in front of an electrical connector, that is what i used, but i have an 00, but they did not change the tranmissions so it will be there on yours..

Thanks guys..guess well find out..SVT_KY is the only one that has an idea on the 02 though..If anyone else browses this let me know if you know for sure..they are gonna call me tomorrow morning..

THanks again

Matt

 

I just went out to my 2002 and checked the brass plug is there on the drivers side just in front of the connector. hope this helps.

 

Thank you so so much..That saves me a ton of money!!!

Thanks again

Matt

 

Sweeet! Good luck matt

 

The question screaming to be asked is why are you letting someone who didn't know about a test prot that is on every Ford automatic transmission built since at least the sixties work on your transmission?

Matt,

Sorry I thought you meant on the PAN ... My bad ...

 

Ahh this is a wonderful question..I personally know a service writer and the Asst Manager...Both were gone yesterday when I took it in..Their Guage man was reading the instructions on the gauge. So they called first..Which I like...Because they couldnt talk to the asst manager first. They werent gonna do anything til they talked to the asst anyway..just wanted to keep it overnight.

So yeah..its a good question..I just kind of jumped on it and took control....More proactive I guess..It was kind of a pain..But they get 80$/hour Labor...And will charge me half. So since I didnt want to do all this..In the end it will be worth it The assistant would of caught it..

He has an 87 Mustang with 1200 horsepower!!! runs 8's and an 01 cobra with a S/C that has 650 hp//wifes driver..LOL he knows what he is doing..

Anyway. Thanks for all your help..Everyone!!
