C6 temp gauge

I am getting ready to change the fluid in my c6 and I want to install a transmission temp gauge since I tow heavy loads. Where do I buy one and how hard is it to install.

Several people have put a tee in the line to the tranny cooler and installed the temp sending unit in the tee.

I have seen the T setups not a bad idea but a step further is those transmission pans have no drain plugs. Why not while it is off drill it use one of the adapter plugs with the install kit. Braze it in and not it serves as a drain plug and a place to mount the sensor.
