I've got one. Didn't really notice a big drop in temps. You have a test port on the side of your trans that you can thread a temp sender into.

Is a test port a good place to get the temp readings from, and which side of the Trans is it on

It's on the drivers side just above where the pan is bolted on. You may need to push a wiring harness to the side to see it. As far as I know that port is the most accurate place to be reading trans temps.

The test port is a FAR better place to install a temp sensor compared to the pan.

For the price of that pan you could buy a better cooler and still have some cash left to buy beer

I like that idea. What kind of guages do you guys recommend? I just want a temp sensor in the transmission and an exhaust temp gauge.

Just about everyone here will say Isspro gauges but I have Sunpro gauges boost,egt,trans temp. They are under 200. They have been in for a little two years and no problems

I have Isspro EV2s in my truck. I'm real happy with how they look and perform.

Edit: Fordpride beat me to it lol!

More fluid is just more fluid to have to cool,get yourself a 6.0 cooler,thats all the cooling you need,but since I have a '99,I have been thinking about getting a radiator with a trans cooler in it for times that I'm in stop and go traffic...

It's probably better than the stock cooler, but WAY smaller than a 6.0L cooler.

I have an aftermarket cooler in the truck already. It is not as big as the 6.0 cooler but it was put in when I got my trailer brakes in 2000. Thanks for the help guys!
