So I'm guessing my local Autozone isnt going to have a switch like that... I'll let you know what I find.
SpikeSpeigel said:A friend of mine brought up an interesting point... What about using a toggle switch in the middle of the connection and getting another sending unit for the tranfer case. Then you could just label the toggle switch and save some money on an all new gauge. Any ideas on this? What is the normal operating temp for the t-case? Where would you put the sending unit at on the t-case?
I hate to bring back a dead thread, but where exactly is this plug(Picture)? I was looking around, but I wasn't exactly sure which one you were referring to. If anybody could point me in the right direction it would help me out a lot. Thanks in advance.Adam90xj said:i have an AW4 and i'm going to use a port just in front of the pressure line to the cooler. It's a star plug with m14x1.5 threads. I ordered an adapter from autometer this morning, pn 2267 i THINK. just an insert to go from m14x1.5 to 1/8" npt.
Hope this helps

I dont actually know the answer to that question. After some more reading and convincing, I eventually decided to just go ahead and cut one of the hard lines and insert a t-fitting. It turned out to be a lot easier than I thought. I used the Jeepin article as a guide (http://www.jeepin.com/features/tranny_temp_gauge/) Just take your time and plan it out in advance, and should be fine. Hope that helps.XpedientJ said:**Another RESURRECTION of this thread:
So, that star plug is JUST a plug, and removing it will not release
anything internal? Is this a full-flow area for meaningful temp.
sampling?Yes, a photo would be great!
ParadiseXJ said:So, I have two questions about this.
What is a good temp for the tranny?
Can the radiator be bypassed altogether with an aux. cooler?
I have a small aux. cooler but could use a bigger one, I think, and it just seems like 4 hoses might be 2 too many. If I just plumbed in a larger cooler I could eliminate the hoses to the radiator (possible leaking points) and go with the 2 hoses to the cooler(?).
ramjet308 said:I think nominal temp is like 160F. but i may be wrong. I would not bypass the factory. if you add the aux cooler you add total cooling surface and capacity.

germanturbo said:What about replacing pan drain plug with temp sender for new aftermarket guage? Just crawling around underneath my '98 tonight, looking for a good place to install sender...anyone try this location? good idea / bad idea??
germanturbo said:Thanks man!
Mine is a 1998 with only the radiator cooler, no aux cooler (yet). So the line that enters the top of the radiator is the line from the tranny, and the line that exits the bottom of the radiator runs fluid back to the tranny, correct?
thanks

I got a 96 4.0 AW4 I got my sensor tapped into the Outline of the tranny (the top line on the radiator).LABMBA87 said:Ok, 94 with the AW4. I have replaced the radiator with one that DOES NOT have the rad cooler. I have passed everything through the aux. cooler. I have a pod installed on the pillar, and i have my other gauge operating. I need to get my trans temp sensor hooked up. Which one is the return line on my Jeep? Which is the easiest way to hook this turd up.
TIA.
Also, what is the best way to hook up an aux cooler and any rec. on which one to purchase.
Thanks again
