• How to Install Derale Transmission Temperature Gauge Kit # D13009
  The + sign on the right-hand terminal on the Derale Transmission Temperature Gauge # D13009 is for connection to an ignition-controlled 12V power source. The middle terminal connects to a chassis ground. Both connections require 18-gauge wire. The left-hand "S" terminal is for the sensor, as you noted, and its wire can be as long as needed (within reason!) to reach from the sensor to the gauge. The written installation instructions are linked at right for your reference.

• Transmission Cooler and Temperature Gauge Recommendations for a 1996 Ford F-250, F-350
  You will want to keep the factory transmission cooler and use the aftermarket one to supplement the cooling rather than just replace the factory cooler. The idea is that, working together, an aftermarket cooler and the factory cooler will be more efficient and cool the transmission fluid better than just one cooler working alone. We do have a handy analog gauge you can use to monitor the transmission fluid temperature. Take a look at the Derale Temperature Gauge Kit, # D13009. This gauge...

• Can a Transmission Cooler be Mounted 4 Inches In Front of Radiator on a 2005 Dodge Dakota
  You can mount cooler # D13402 on the rail in front of the radiator on your 2005 Dodge Dakota. Ideally, for the most airflow efficiency for the fan pulling air through you would want it mounted against the radiator if there is space. But mounting it further out should not sacrifice too much of the supplemental cooling when at ideal or lower speeds. You will not need additional fittings to install the cooler on your truck. For a temperature gauge we have # D13009. The temperature sender...

  According to Derale, the # D14207 will be compatible with the 4L80E transmission on your 2009 Chevrolet Express Van if you have 2-1/2 inches of clearance under your existing pan without hitting the cross member to accommodate the greater depth of the Derale pan.

• Which Transission Cooler for My 2004 Chevy Express and Do You Have Transmission Temperature Gauges
  The Derale 8000 Series cooler, part # D13504, would be a good cooler to use for that trailer weight range. I do not see any reason why it would not fit your full-size van. Just to be sure, measure the area where you would want to install it to make sure you have enough room. The cooler measures 11 inches wide, 12 inches tall and 7/8 inch thick. The cooler attaches to your radiator and sits in front of it. There is a factory trans cooler, though very small, built into the radiator of most...

• Will Derale Transmission Pan Cooler D14207 Fit a GM 4L80E Transmission in 1999 Chevy Van/RV
  I have some good news and I have something for you to check on the existing transmission pan on your 1999 RV built on the Chevy van chassis. The good news that Derale cooler # D14207 does indeed fit the GM 4L80E transmission so if that is for sure what is on the tranny now then the shape and mounting pattern will all match. But if for some reason there is anything that runs under the pan then it might not fit because the Derale pan is taller. Specifically it is 4-1/4 inches high. So provided...

• How to Safely Tow a Trailer with a 2006 Chrysler Town & Country
  I looked in the owner's manual for your 2006 Chrysler Town & Country and did not see any time restrictions when towing a trailer with your vehicle. In order to make sure you do not damage the vehicle while towing you will first need to make sure that you are within the vehicle's capacity as far as weight goes which can range anywhere from 1,000 to 3,800 lbs depending on how the vehicle is loaded/equipped. If you would like further information on your vehicle's towing capacity then I recommend...

• Transmission Temperature Gauge for a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser That Doesnt Drill Into Pan

Either way, if you don't typically work on vehicles...

  In order to obtain an accurate reading of the vehicle's engine oil temperature you would need to pull this data while the oil is in the pan using a sensor such as the Derale Temperature Gauge Kit for Transmission or Engine Oil part # D13009. If you were to monitor the engine oil temperature before or after the filter then this would not give an entirely accurate figure as to the vehicle's true engine oil temperature. That said, if you still wanted to proceed then you can indeed use some...
