Finally got the new oil temp gauge for my psd. im wondering tho, where is the best place or only place to locate the sensor. the sensor is like a screw in so i know i need to drill and tap it somewhere. wondering if anyone had some input on this topic. thanks

Without crawling under my rig and looking I think that is where I installed my Oil temp sending unit.

The Plug they are referring to is where I have the pressure test port/bypass filter supply labeled. It is 1/8 pipe thread even though I have it labeled 1/4
