    3 Speed Transmission Temp Gauge

    I decided to go into the pan. I need to drop it anyway to replace the trans filter. I ordered a 1/4 x 1/8 NPT bushing to tap into the pan. I plan to use a nut to secure it on the other side with JB weld all over the place. Ill post a tutorial once I get it done!

    The plan is to enjoy it as-is while doing some refurb, then in the Winter swap to an LS. I have been obsessed with Hummers since I was little. I can't wait to build it out!

    New Member in Fort Worth, TX - What did I miss?
