Tempeature gauge install

[GRudy]

OK Guys, once again I need some advice.
I have decided to install an Isspro Tempeature gauge into the the Geno's full pillar triple gauge pod I ordered the other day beside my combo gauge and fuel pressure gauge. I want to use three senders, one in the rear axle, one in the NV4500, and one for engine oil temp. I assume that I can put the sender for the rear axel in the fill plug hole? (stock diff. cover) How about trany and engine, where would be good locations for the senders and what size are the threads for these locations? I decided on Isspro mainly for cost. The R8658 gauge is only $25. 00 and the R8992 senders are only $18. 00 each.

I can tell you two of the three. Oil temp sender should go on the 1/8"NPT port on top of the oil filter housing. On the diff,I don't think the fill plug location will give good readings,it will be out of the oil most of the time. Best thing would be to locate it in a drain plug fitting welded to the stock cover,or use an aftermarket cover that that has a drain or sender port. I've never really looked for a sender location on the transmission,can't help you there.
