Ok...so for a while I have wanted to install one of these...I didnt want to put the sender in the pan as i think that is a bad idea with as little ground clearance that I have since i off-road, so I decided to put the sender inline with the lines as they went into the radiator. I did some searching for this, but was not able to find any good pics of how it looked or how to do it, so I jsut went at it and this is what I came up with.....It seems to work well, no leaks. I got an auto-meter tranny temp gauge from summit racing as well as an f-150 steering collumn gauge pod plus a flexa-lite tranyn cooler all for around 120 bucks shiped to my door. It all got here the day after I orderd it too, gotta love living close to the warehouse 
Ok on to the pics of the sender and gauge, none of the cooler, sorry.
Ok, here is the sender in the line..I used a 3/8" brass 't' to put the sender in, as well as a 3/8" nipple to put the 'T' into the rad. pretty simple, jsut remember the tefflon tape
from the other side.
The auto-meter gauge in the pod
and a close up of the gauge.
It was a pretty simple install...very easy, with very basic electrical knowledge the only thing you need....Hope this helps someone who want to do this, but dont have an idea where to start.
