Forgot to mention the 2002 4r100 dipstick was an inch longer than original, hence the reason i found oem used off ebay
got the thing back together
With the glow temp sensor in the test port
anyone have recommendations for where to run the wiring through the firewall? (Edit: read about something called upfitter, anything here?)
genscripter?
Also edit: Just read about FIPL/TPS
highly doubt its been changed ever
So replacing tomorrow

I just found an existing grommet near the master cylinder to run wiring.

The temp in the dash works
and it never went up over a third
But i still want the exact temp reading from the trans temp gauge

It's pretty awful to be honest. The only way I was able to find it from the inside of the cab is by running a leader wire through the grommet first from the engine side. Like a 1/16" metal wire and see where it comes thru from the interior. I'm usually working by myself, so it would be easier if I had a helper.

That's where I stole power from when I did mine on one of my other trucks.
If you don't already know the pressure test port, which is where I put my sensor is 1/8" npt, the sensor for my gauge was that size and screwed right in!

My 89 is an xlt lariat, which is kind of annoying because there's no extra key on slots in the fuse box like my 85 which is a base. I'll take a look and see if I can find this door chime plug...

my gauges don't use dimmer control.. they just go into the Night Mode when the headlight on signal is detected...
so for some gauges that need dimming control .... then Radio Illumination is a good place to Tap that signal.

well
i guess wrangling the OE dipstick tube in place to mount to the engine was a terrible idea
as now the glue around the lower tube where it enters the trans case is broken away and its leaking
Anyone know whats used to seal that?
ive tried searching and google keeps trying to show me the oring for the upper to lower
