    C4 Temp Gauge Sensor Location

    FWIW, I monitored my trans in all three locations at different times, and what I found was the trans temps were basically the same as the engine water temp ( as long as I was hooked to the rad cooler). Tom

    C4 Temp Gauge Sensor Location

    Yep, The pan is the best place, because that tells you how hot the fluid doing the work is. If you put it before the tranny cooler you will be afraid to do anything. If you put it after the tranny cooler its lower than the pan temp. If you can't put it in the pan, then I recommend after the...

    Roll Overs

    Tying into the frame is one way to do it, the other is to tie the seats and seat belts into the cage. In a high speed roll if the cage goes one way, and the seats go another way, you are caught in the middle. Drews punch through issue could have been easily prevented by running a cross bar...

    How to get 3 kids in a back seat?

    I had the fold and tumble seat in mine. It sits much lower, so taller people aren't so cramped. My suggestion for you would be to use the fold and tumble, but mount it as far back as possible and create a car seat mount in the center directly behind the front seats. Getting in and out with a...
