What is indicated on any auto tranny sensor port is NOT the hottest,
as the hottest is in the TC at the tips and where the ATF reverses

Jeremiah...here is a partial list of potentials, but most are boy racer
and warranty/longevity is my concern...especially away from my area
With a new Sub equivalent to mine costing well over $70K...am researching
rebuilding...and not even a 8,600 GVWR cuz not offered, yet...maybe
a used government K3500 when they come out, but still too much for
my budget (my guess) and better to rebuild to my liking
Most of these are in the 1000 ft/lb range. A 5 speed manual is also on the list
This is a good starting reference article, there are many more but this
one is the best, IMHO
