Default Good temperature port for 6l80e?

I have a cyberdyne digital temp guage that I'd like to install in my '10 Silverado with the 6l80E.

Anyone know if there is a port available on the trans, or am I going to need to splice into the hardlines when I install my Trucool 40k?

The temp sender is 1/8" NPT, FWIW.

Did some googling and found that most people like to plug into the test port for their temp gauges.

Yeah, I took that into consideration before hitting send

I figured if the 4L60e had a test port, the 6 does too.

edit: after some more googling, looks like buying a new pan with a bung welded in will be your best bet on the 6L.

Sorry for my ignorance!

If the trans doesn't have a plug on the side like the older 4 speeds then I think getting a aftermarket oil pan or like you said tapping in after the trans cooler is gonna be your best bet.
