Hey guys I want to get some parts ordered up this week and have them sent home so I'll have something to do during Christmas break...

I have yet to install a Tranny Temp guage so any suggestions here? I have seen some that you drill a hole in your pan and thread the sending unit in... anyways suggestions for a complete kit would be appreciated...
(I was thinking of putting the temp guage in place of the factory clock since I don't use it if they make one that small)...


Secondly my oil pressure guage hasn't ever really worked since I've owned the truck... anyone make a kit to replace the guage and sending unit? Again keeping it in the factory location would be nice...


Oh and obviously this is all on my '85 K10...


Thanks!

Maybe I should have specified I'm just looking for ideas here, what do you run? Just trying to see what is worth the money...
 
I suggest picking up the remote filter kit from Perma Cool. If you get the deluxe kit ($90 IIRC), it comes with a built in sender, as well as a temp gauge.
 
I put an Auto Meter gauge in my 91. Same place as where the clock goes. IIRC I had to remove some plastic to get it to fit. My sensor is currently in the high pressure port. I plan on moving it to the pan.
 
ah crap my post didn't go through

i have a 700r4 as well, there is a place you can just screw it right into..its by the overdrive harness on the driver side, i called auto meter and they told me that and ilooked, they were right! i didn't install that or my new trans cooler yet but i will let you know how that goes as well..here are the things i ordered, it was about 70 bucks or so

Thanks... I already have a big stacked plate B&M trans cooler so I'm just looking for a sender/guage...

That looks like a pretty good deal since it has the sending unit and adapters with it... did they say if its on all 700r4's? Although my truck is an '85 it has a 2nd gen 700r4...
 
The truck is in Cali... I'm in Texas :)
I'll be back after next week though and then I can get started...

Yeah if you're under there snap a pic so I know what to look for... thanks!
