[QUOTE="Waffle, post: 757533, member: 12726"] Just a few days ago I found myself in a RV forum and this very topic came up. Although I was preset with my own ideas of whats best, I found a compelling argument for either location, whether it's pan, case or output. 1. The pan has the obvious advantage of seeing oil temps enter the case, but has a disadvantage since you cannot see temps inside of case or max oil temp leaving. Theoretically you could have safe pan temps, "scorched" fluid exiting and a huge cooler to bring it all back down, but you'd never know the fluid was exceeding its limit & breaking down on ya. 2. Side of case or inside likely sees the best average temp of fluid within the case components, but still cannot see max temps leaving. It's a common oem location, probably for good reason. 3. Outlet port advantage is you get to see the true max temps after it leaves the case. Placing here means you're trying to prevent the fluid from exceeding its own max temp limit (but ignoring trans critical component temps). Banks temp gauge dials (so I'm told) are set to read this higher range. Some guys ran two gauges. Myself, I run one in the pan and struggle to get it over 180F. 150F is usually what I see, but I'm just a weekend crawler. And I know a guy that uses the output tee and he constantly sees up to 240F.
