6 years ago. We were on an interstate in Alabama.. And the Digi Panel alarm went off. Pulled over to see what was up. I could see that the heater core was leaking. But only dripping. 1 gal was needed to fill the radiator. 11 miles down the road was a truck stop. Put some stop leak in. That got us to the GMCMI event. Then back to Iowa. I know of someone that had their Digi Panel go off due to the engine oil cooler hose dripping while on Interstate 40. He call me as to what to do to get to the next town. I told him to remove the oil filter. Then the oil cooler adapter. Reinstall the oil filter. Add oil to the full mark. Get back on the road till you get back home after your vacation. TWO good engines saved because we spent $250 ( I think ) at Applied. Beats $8,000 for an engine. Your choice. Some say that they watch their gauges. No you don't. It only takes a few mins of watching traffic. AS YOU SHOULD BE. To loose your engine. Bob Dunahugh

I broke an alternator/water pump belt running down the freeway a few years
ago on a 350 Chev in a K5 Blazer. I saw the alternator light come on, and
pulled off the freeway at the next offramp. Maybe a mile at most. Never
made the stop sign. Bad sounds from the underhood area. Thumbed a ride to
nearest parts store, got a belt, installed it, fired it up, and turned it
off. Home via 100 mile tow.
Result: 4 burned pistons, scored cylinder walls. Bottom end was fine.
Moral of the story? It takes almost no time to cook an engine with no
coolant exchange. Seconds, not minutes.
Digipanel alarms save engines if the humans listening react to the
alarms promptly (like RIGHT NOW).

If you have EFI with EBL flash, can alarms be set in the programing to
accomplish similar warning? Or is the Digipanel better? EFI w/ EBL is on
my wish list, but I dont have any experience with it yet.

Ken,
No need to go that way as it probably can be done, but youll need to put up
a monitor panel seperate.

The time to install the Digi Panel is about 3 hours as it is a simple hook
up.
You can always call us for additional instructions.

I installed mine in about 2.5 hours. The instructions are good. Hardest part I suppose is going under to install the sensor on a trans pan bolt. Then tucking everything away neatly.

Bob, it was the alternator light. The 1 belt on the chev drives everything.
When the light came on, the water pump quit turning too. Stuff happens
quickly was all I was saying. The digi alarm is a good deal in this case.

On the 23', I wrapped the trans temp sensor around the return cooling line and clamped it.... worked fine. Mounted the box to the right of the ammetera (stock dash) I've a DigiPanel in the box to mount over the hole in the center where there was some to me extraneous stuff mounted. It needs covering and the DigiPanel will be a good fit.

I wrapped the tab on the return pipe and put the connector on top and then wrapped the result in a bit of tape for padding and a small hose clamp to hold it. In that coach, it always tracked the water temp.

Sorry for such a silly question... Where is this tube? I'm just not
familiar enough to know it by picturing in my head.

Silly questions get silly answers. Reasonable questions, like yours, get reasonable answers.
There are two metal tubes going to the lower cooler in your radiator (The upper two are to the oil cooler) This on the passenger side. The two tubes cross along the radiator frame and then turn up. The one connected to the second fitting up on the radiator out of four is the transmission cooler return line. Follow it and find a space where you can put the temp sensor on it which is out of the way of moving stuff. If you want the temp entering the cooler, measure the temp of the lower line.

Though you do bring up an interesting topic. Would you recommend the return
line as the sensor point vs the input? Wouldn't connecting to the
transmission pan provide a similar value to that of the temp entering the
cooler, and as such, the lower line is more accurate a proxy?
Or is it splitting hairs?
