Ok,  I have a tranny temp measurement sender installed in my F250 PS 
4R100 transmission.  I installed it according to what a Ford tech 
suggested. But it is located in a fluid passage way in the side of the 
trans. The quesiton is: "Where IS the best place to install a temp 
sender for an automatic trans?"  I have been considering purchasing a 
larger cast aluminum pan and the good ones all come with a temp sender 
boss.  So what does the collective wisdom of the lsr community suggest? 
Pan or case for sender location?  I have found several cast aluminum 
pans and holy crap are they expensive... all around 350 bucks, lol.  One 
adds another 7.5 qts to the fluid capacity.  That would make a total of 
nearly 22 qts! But, the cost of a diesel spec ranny is no laughing 
matter either..

So, if any of you ar e awake enough to think coherently tell me what ya 
thing on sender location.... I am barely awake...
