does e4OD really suck that much power from the engine?

After many problems...
I had my e4od rebuilt with upgrades. Had many problems with the truck stalling in reverse and took truck back to shop after they made a mistake in the rebuild. I think they added a shift kit and this think shifts solid and hard very quick response, I would say 40% more power

I'm bumping this back to the top in hopes of finding the proper port for the temp sender AND the pressure sender since they can't both be in the pressure test port.

Could always use a brass T and have them both come off of the pressure port.

Keep in mind I am running 3 gauges. Trans pressure, trans CONVERTER temp and trans MAIN temp.
I already have the temp sender in the cooler line. It will be reading the converter temp which is considerably hotter than the actual trans temp. That will work nicely for your fan switch, though.
A tee coming off the pressure port will still give accurate pressure readings, but will place the temp sender too far away from the case for any kind of reliably accurate temp reading and any fluid that would get to the sender would be stagnant so it too would not give an accurate reading.
Thanks for the input. I appreciate everyone's input.

So you guys are running the factory cooler that goes through the rad AND an aux cooler? My truck has a towing package and I thought that was the only ones w the tranny lines going through the radiator but I don't know for sure

i used to run a temp sender in a t like that,coming out of the trans.after a few months,i learned all it was doing for me was making me extremely nervous and drawing way too much attention as it fluctuated so quickly and drastically.i switched over to the test port location and she remains under 200F all the time.less stress and concern.
yes.the radiator is by far your most effective cooler of the ATF.an aux cooler in line (after) only needs to cool it down some more for heavy hauling/towing duty.
if you only ran an aux cooler then you wouldn't have enough cooling during idle/off road duty where airflow wouldn't be sufficient.the radiator always cools the atf,as long as your cooling system is in good order.

I put one if these on my e40d B&M ShiftPlus Electronic Shift Improver Kits works real well makes the shifts crisp and quick. Never did like the slush shifting. I added the temp gauge to the cooler line going to the radiator only I put mine at the tranny.

There is usually a factory aux cooler behind your grill if you have a tow package along with going through the radiator. I am thinking about taking out the stock aux cooler and buy a 6.0 cooler. Those things are huge and cool pretty well. My 6.0 stays under 180 while towing heavy loads. They are by far the biggest cooler ive ever seen on a pickup

Installed the shift kit and deep trans pan this weekend. Pretty straight forward install. Only complaint would be there could be better instructions on where the steel spring and spring with the filter actually went. Overall happy with the shifts now. Firm and crisp. I gotta come up with another exhaust set up because mine doesn't for with the new pan. Darn long tube headers!
