    Temp acting weird...

    Ya. I'm always a bit on the overcautious side... Especially since, like many of us here, I depend on my truck to earn a living. If the temps ever did start going up, I would probably back off at like 230 or maybe even slightly before I hit that. Best be safe than sorry!

    When he said that I was confused lol. Mine is mechanical with a thermocouple and the little gas tube .

    Zf5

    I got a Zf5 but 4.56 gears front and back... It's LOW. Even when I'm towing decently heavy, I don't consistently use first gear.

    Oops and I meant to say it's been moving between 185-195. Typo

    Temp acting weird...

    I'm getting my temp from a real gauge that's installed where the idiot light probe used to be. Thanks for the info guys. I just got kinda concerned since it used to hang out right at 190 but lately has been moving a bit more .

    Temp acting weird...

    Hey gents. So past couple days my water temp gauge has been weird. Normally it never moves above 190. Even when I've towed heavy I barely goes above 190. But for the past couple days it's been moving around between 185-190. The thermostat is the motocraft one everyone recommends and is only...

    Welding oil pan in place?

    So still don't know what I'm gonna do. Might make this extra gauge tranny temp or oil.

    Haha thanks.

    Welding oil pan in place?

    Ya I don't really wanna do that. Currently that spot has my aftermarket oil pressure gauge. For an accurate reading you need somewhere with flowing oil, in a T it's gonna get a bit stagnant in that spot.

    Welding oil pan in place?

    Am I just stupid??? I'm having trouble finding where the tranny flange is. Bear with me... I'm a novice.

    Welding oil pan in place?

    Ya that would be interesting. I imagine it wouldnt be too hard to install a probe for one either. Just welding a bung to the radiator or what?

    Welding oil pan in place?

    By the way, does anyone know how thick our oil pans are?? I'm completely guessing like 16gauge but idk for sure.

    Welding oil pan in place?

    Haha that scares me lol. My tranny goes into gear solid and all, but once in awhile I get a little resistance or a small grind when shifting. I'm not sure I want to know lol. So you think I would be better off with a tranny temp instead of oil temp?

    Welding oil pan in place?

    What would you recommend instead of oil temp? I already have boost, pyro, water, oil pressure. My truck has a ZF so a tranny temp would be basically useless.

    Welding oil pan in place?

    This is true.... Might end up doing that. I think I've got a pound or two of it lying around somewhere lol.

    Welding oil pan in place?

    Hm... Well I don't have a way to pull the motor up right now. And I don't have the time since this is my business truck. So unless yall got a suggestion on where else it can go I guess I'm just gonna take EVERY precautionary measure I can think of And just be careful with it.

    Welding oil pan in place?

    I've got a massive neodymium magnet i was gonna put just below the hole as i drill. Use a sharp drill bit and go slow and get nice long shavings instead of little chips. Once the whole is drill stick the pencil magnet in there and then remove the big magnet so any shavings it grabbed now go onto...

    Welding oil pan in place?

    Thats a good idea! I'll probably purge with straight argon. Extra heavy and will sit in place better than co2. I unfortunately do not have a soldering iron THAT big. But I can always heat the bung off the pan nice and hot, then warm up the pan with a handheld butane torch.

    Welding oil pan in place?

    I can MIG or TIG it. I'm a welder for a living so thats not the issue. I know theoretically it could light up... But what are the odds of that actually happening? Especially if i pull a vacuum or purge the oil pan with argon? The bung is a 1/2"NPT. What if I were to tack weld it? Nice hot tack...

    Welding oil pan in place?

    Hey y'all so I've gotten mixed opinions about this with everybody I've talked to. I've done this before just wondering if it's actually ok or a no go. So basically i recently finally got around to putting the rest of my gauges in. The only one not hooked up is the oil temp. I'm waiting until I'm...

    I always gotta do work on my truck at night since during the days I'm working usually like 05 to 2000

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Finally got around to installing my gauges! Now the gauges I have are boost, pyro, water temp, oil temp, and oil pressure. Pyro and boost on dash. Oil temp, water temp, and oil pressure on pillar.
