I graduated from high school in Fremont. I've been back 4 times in the past 47 years, the last time was a year ago for a funeral. Don't miss it one little bit.dam i hate ohio anymore but love livin so close to Summit, it's already here.

Don’t see why not. Derale stuff is top notch in my experience. I’d imagine the bulkhead fitting coming from them would be fine. Worst cast it leaks and you just have to weld in a bung.alright , so i got this Derale trans temp gauge 140-300* range came with a bulkhead fitting i assumed would be crap, (hence the plans for the bung) but it actually looks pretty solid..........any reason not try it?
i read reviews of some bulkhead fitting and some reports of some being cheesy enough you break um with the wrenches b4 the you got um tight, but this thing is thick and i ain't gonna strip or break it with any wrenches................ and if it wouldn't hold a seal for any reason (it's got a nylon washer), i could just weld or braze it directly.Don’t see why not.

That said - I have no direct experence using a bulkhead fitting in a trans pan.
I’ve swapped trannys often enough that I’ve never had to change the fluid…i read reviews of some bulkhead fitting and some reports of some being cheesy enough you break um with the wrenches b4 the you got um tight, but this thing is thick and i ain't gonna strip or break it with any wrenches................ and if it wouldn't hold a seal for any reason (it's got a nylon washer), i could just weld or braze it directly.
as long as the jeeps locked away for 6months a yr up here not driven, i probably should be changin that fluid every season anyways.
i do fire it every wk -10dys but it doesn't move so IDK how much of that trans fluid might get stirred during those inactive months.I’ve swapped trannys often enough that I’ve never had to change the fluid…
That has to be a serious amount of torque!My buddy Chris broke an AAM 10.5 axle shaft on Rock Pile in Moab. Funny, the night before while swapping an axle seal, he was saying he had never heard of someone breaking one.
might be a bit of difference in available torque ..........that rig is a V8, no? @NashvilleTJThat has to be a serious amount of torque!

Yup. He also did a home porting job on his heads, of which he says he can feel a difference.Yes he has a Dodge magnum 5.9 V-8 (stock) & 46RE transmission.
