I've got a 5R55W automatic in my 03' explorer, 4.0 SOHC. I want to install a temp gauge to more accurately determine oil temp and be able to monitor it from inside the cab. Where's the best location for the sensor; before the cooler or in the pan? Had the trans rebuilt and was due to fried trans fluid. I don't want to do that ever again.
Thanks for the help,
John
Also, why is there a range (80-120 degrees) specified to check oil temp? I mean were just talking normal operating temp, right?
