Well the other day I was pulling a trailer for my buddy and I lost My over drive and the transmission temp light came on at the dash. It was pooring rain that day im almost positive it is a eletrical problem with in the sensor because My pillar tranny temp gauge is still showing that my trans is running at the same tempture range it always does. So i crawled under my truck to take a look at the sensor and I can not find it worth a ****. I know its in the tranny line near the front drive shaft on the driver side but i still can not find this. I cant read the tag on the transmission my only thought is that the transmission is out of a 24v. so on these transmissions wheres the sensor In the Govenor houseing ???

 

uhhhh your talkin about 2 different trans

94-95RH have the trans temp in the line coming out of the front of the trans
96-02RE have the trans temp in the valve body

if its a RH get some dielectric grease for the connection
for an RE your into alot more work

after the trans cooled off did OD and lock up come back?

 

yeah od and lock up come back if the truck sits and cools off or it will comeback and the light will shut off if im driving sometimes

 

well it depends on what trans you have

what year is the truck?

 

its a 96 I thought 96 had the trans temp in the line I had my years mixed up thats why I couldnt find it if its in the valvebody

 

in the VB, either slipping the converter and sending hot fluid through the trans and the cooler is goin a good job and keeping the fluid in the pan cool or bad sending unit

 

well I just ordered a new filter and gasket the other day so im going to drop the pan see how the fluid is. Im going to start with the sending unit. My pillar gauge is showing normall operating temptures.

 

does anyone have a part number for the transmission temp sensor I cant find it anywhere.

 

MY truck does the same thing(97 12v), if i run it through the car wash the OD light goes out and the transmission temp light comes on. Once it dry's off it works fine. I haven't invested in a pillar gauge yet but plan to then i get some money.
