Is there a port in the 5R55E tranny to install a oil temperature unit?

Rog

 

yes on the drivers side by the trans range sensor, its an 11mm head on a pipe plug

use teflon tape and dont overtighten it

 

Thank you, I appreciate it.

sending unit on my 5r55e

 

hmmm i wounder if the 5r44e has the same plug ive been wanting to install a trans temp gauge?

 

it does

 

I"ve been wanting to see a trans temp guage on a 5r55e trans. How do you have your guage mounted?

 

 

So to do this I would need?

This is the guage I'm gonna get
Auto Meter 4949 - Auto Meter Ultra-Lite II Analog Gauges - Overview - SummitRacing.com

What do i need for a sending unit?

 

I used a "ProSport" gauge and if I recall correctly it came with a sensor for the tranny. What I like about ProSport is that it is black face. The dial is black until you power it up jmho

Google ProSport and take a look. I'm running several of their gauges.

would someone mind posting up a how to on this. id be very interested in puttin one of these in but dont know where to start

 

How to what? Install a gauge, the pod, the sensor? Please clarify.

Rog

 

all of it, the sensor in the tranny, where to run the wires, how to install the gauge housing, how to make it all work. i want a tranny temp gauge but dont want to pay some shop to do it so i want to know if this is something i can do on my own.

thanks

 

If you can't figure it out from my thread...pay someone to do it.

will this work on any ranger tranny? How do you figure what model tranny is there? mine is a 05 4.0L 4x4 Auto. guess I'll have to climb under there and see if I have the port.

 

Think this will be my next mod, I like the ultra series II for guages cause it changes color day to night. So any temp reading sending unit will fit in the plug hole, im guessing?

your truck has a 5R55E

 

Follow Crunchy"s outline and if you want to add a Pod order one on line and do so.
Good luck

Awesome!! Thanks!

 

Somebody should do a step by step on this mod and put it in the how to...

 

What size is the adapter for the 1/8 NPT sensor?
