Aeroforce does way more than just trans temp so you would be prepping for future mods, if you can afford that one I'd do that

I bought one for $16 at Advance. During the day it's a perfect match but at night the light doesn't match. Was always planning on an aeroforce at some point, but it's forever gotten back burner'd as other things costing $$$$$ have come up.

Works fine though...

The one I have that matches the interior I think is autometer the phantom gauges

this is what auto meter claims as factory match, my only issue is my numbers are solid and these are outlined, but no biggie....i could get the a/f but its a good chunk right now not knowing if ill ever utilize it. besides i could use that money for what i consider more important stuff right now.........link------>http://www.amazon.com/Auto-Meter-8549-Factory-Tempreature/dp/tech-data/B004L2XGG8

When I was going to do the SRT pod and one gauge I was going to use the diesel 3 in 1 dodge factory match gauge. But now went a different route. I know autometer makes a gauge close to factory match

Autometer makes dodge factory match gauges...which is what I will get for my truck. They match during the day and at night. However, if you change your interior to blue LED's they will not match.

No teach i dont do alot of towing anymore, hence why i got the roll pan, i want to be able to monitor the temps in the trans, as i do tend to play quite a bit. if the temps are too high, then ill look into a larger row cooler. I think a magtec would be too much.

This is installed 90%, it is all wired up all i need now is an adapter from what i believe is 3/8 npt to 1/8 npt, for my sensor to go into the port on the trans.

I thought the gauge that was coming was gonna be 1/8 npt, Gail can you confirm or clarify which i ordered.

The one that came is to big for the port, should i just buy an adapter or ask glowshift to ship me a different one.

DIY coming soon as i complete the install....for now...those arent hot spots with the leds, thats just how my phone took it, near the bottom of the sweep and the top of the sweep, its a lil dimmer but nothing to complain about...

It looks great!

The one you ordered comes standard as 1/8th. Only available this way.
I will call first thing in the morning for you.

You have the stock sensor, right? And, which port are you trying to screw it onto?
