Two items to check.
1. If you stick the probe inside of the differential, is it going to hit the gears?
2. My mind is blank at the moment as to what the "cable" is called between the gauge and the probe - is it long enough to reach back to the differential, probably not.

Thanks, After checking for gear clearance I'll splice in some wire for now. If this works out alright, think I'll install a toggle switch so I can monitor more closely. I bought one of those fancy alum diff covers about year ago because some paint was peeling off and I do change diff oil about every 15k miles. What got me started on this was after thinking about paint peeling; I wondered if the paint peeling on old cover might be because of heat. If trans probe is to long, Mag cover people probably sell a shorter probe. Just wasn't sure about wiring.
Thanks
