Tranny gauge
Any way of putting one in without going in to the transmission, dodge says will void warranty. Dodge also says that tranny has a shut down if it gets to hot it will idle down until you reach a low speed until it cools off is that true. also what brand of gauge.

There is a diesel company that has a new return line on the tranny that has the a sensor fitting built into it. It was like $60-80. It was easy to install to boot. I have one but I can't remember what site had them. Hopefully someone will remember and post it for you. If not I'll keep looking.

Diesel Manor sells a replacement line that is very simple to install. It took me about 20 minutes to install the line and hook up the thermocoupler to the new line. I would call Larry from here first and see if he can't take care of you.

About the voided warranty, I don't think it will. Well atleast not in my case, i've had my service tech look at the line and my warranty is still upheld. I guess it just depends on your relationship w/ your dealer.
One little thing to make sure of, when you install the line don't overtighten the fittings, mine had a little leak, I just took off some of the tension and they are fine.

The only thing I allow the dealer to service (besides the broken stuff) is the tranny. I've had the full set(four) gauges since before my first service. They never said a word. It is only added safety. Who can fault you for that. Besides the replacement piece is a mopar part that has a sensor block added to it.

No warranty issues here...had the truck in a couple times & nothing ever said about gauges nor cooler line.
A lot of it depends on the dealers' attitude.

I notice that the thread size of the "T" on the line is 1/8 NPT.
Does anyone know what thread size the test ports are on the passenger side of the tranny?? Are all temp. sensors 1/8 NTP??

I just installed the line from Diesel Manor on mine this weekend. Made the installation a breeze. Looks just like the stock line with a T in it. However if you go this route, you will realize that the engineer that put the cooler up behind the engine should be shot. Its a PITA to get a 7/8" wrench up in there and get a good angle on it.

I started by loosening the bottom, then screwing it back in by hand until it quit seeping, then went to the top because it was being a biach. I am pretty sure the sender is threaded 1/8 NTP. I might be wrong though.
