94 cooler lines

[farmerson]

The cooler line on my 94 that has the OD heat sensor in it has been replaced with a rubber line. and my sensor and wires were taken out and zip tied to the frame rail. anyway i was driving it the other day it was about 40 degrees out and it hit OD. is there any way that i could put the sensor in the cab? if it only needs to be 40 degrees or so i dont see why it wouldnt work once it got warmed up and heat in the cab. What do you guys think? or should i just drill and tap a hole in the tranny pan so it gets the exact temp? or should i find a set of lines from a junk yard and put the one i need on? because they dont make cooler lines for my old 94 anymore. and im not gonna spend 600+ dollars to convert it over to 99 lines.

alternatively, you could just use a resistor and ditch the sensor completely...

maybe someone knows the resistance offhand, or you could check it yourself, then go down to your local electronics shop and pick up a resistor of similar value

1k if I recall correctly.

The value is usually 1K. Others will work as long as the PCM reacts to it as if the transmission was warm. Radio Shack has 1K resisters.
