Nice clean install. Luckily my hose hack job is hidden by the skid plate. I'm glad you posted pictures because I was wondering how accurate my sender location is. But it appears that I am getting the same readings as you. FWIW, the picture I posted in the previous page actually had more nipples than I actually installed. I was able to install the sensor directly into the tee with about 3/8-1/2" of the sensor tip in the flow of ATF. Obviously there could be a slight amount of cooling taking pace as the ATF moves from the trans to the cooler, but the overall trend is what I was most concerned about.

I agree that this is one of my most useful mods for real time data. It's amazing to see how punching a little boost can drive trans temps up pretty high. It definitely gives you a good warning so you can adjust your driving style accordingly. It seems like having the 315's with stock gears also makes it run a little warmer than with 33's. As long as you have a little speed the cooler does a dang good job. I couldn't imagine driving a truck without a cooler. No wonder so many other cars have problems with transmission failure compared to the 80.
