So I made up my mind and hopefully the 3 gauges (fuel pressure , Trans temp & EGT) that I'll be installing on the triple A-pillar pod for my truck can be wired with no hitches......some questions, on a stock 47re auto trans where do you (and what might you need) to run a temp gauge off it?............same question for the fuel pressure gauge??..........and EGT ???

Trans can be done one of two ways (well there are more but these are the most accurate). First, there is a clip on holder that goes on the cooler outlet line. Second, in the pan (which I use). Does the lift pump setup use the original fuel filter bowl?

To your question Yes it does.

Perfect. You will use the fitting on the inlet to the injection pump. It should already have a schrader valve fitting in it. If it does not let me know and I'll come up with something else for you.

Didn't get to see if schrader is already there......in the event it's not, can you give me another option?

The easy route is a 12mm banjo bolt with a 1/8" npt hole IF it has the stock line on it. Your gauge adapter will thread right into it. The 1500* or 2200*. There is really no reason for you to need over the 1500* gauge.

I went ahead and asked a tech the same question ..he said the same thing 1500*..........I like the easy route with the Banjo bolt.

Want to install/add a trans temp gauge for the 2018 6.4 66RGFE CC. Will mount on the A pillar using one of the aftermarket A pillar trim products. Question, is there a place on the 66RFE trans for the temp sensor to screw into to?
