Where is the best place to buy a new one? Is it a relatively simple process?
Mine comes on right away at cold startup. This little lady does not seem to want to get back on the road...

Well this question seems to be one of the great Montero mysteries. 40 views and no ideas. Not complaining. I don't blame you. I have no idea either. I've been combing Google with no luck at all.
Just figured I'd bump one last time in case one of you guru's hadn't seen this yet, before I go through the stealorship. They can "special order" it for $40. Could be worse, but I bet the damn part costs 50 cents to make.
I know this is risky business, but I'm really temped to just bypass it...

Thanks for that info, Jay. I'll check those out. Yeah, the light comes on immediately on a cold start. So at least we know its not because its actually hot, which is certainly the lesser of 2 evils. Would rather have a false positive than a missed positive.

AutoMater makes a trans fluid temp sensor with gauge (CW warning light) and adapter if you want to go that route.
At one time I thought I'd install this so I got the adapter which I modified on a lathe to extend the sensor tip.
It's yours for free if you want it.

Not sure on the part number but it is easy to change unless your truck is all corroded stuck together. Unlike my rust free 91 southern truck. Well maybe a small amount do surface rust on the horn you can see through the grill.
All you do to change the sensor is unplug it, unscrew it, screw in new one , and plug back up. I did this 10years ago or so and no problems since.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.
