ACUTEMP ADAPTER ('89-'24, 2500/3500, 5.9L & 6.7L)
The AcuTemp Adapter takes less than five minutes to install and allows you to install any 1/8 NPT temperature sender on a transmission cooler line. You never have to touch the transmission fluid, so there is no concern over fluid contamination. This adapter can be installed by anyone.
The temperature reading is obtained via heat transfer from the line, through the adapter, to the temp sensor. It provides a good, general temperature at that point so it can be monitored for heating trends. The adapter is made of aluminum which dissipates heat rapidly. There has been some concern about getting a false reading due to accumulated heat in the line, but we have not seen where this has been an issue. Installing the temperature adapter using another method/component may give you a different reading than the AcuTemp adapter.
This may fit other applications as long as the OD of the transmission line is 1/2".
