trans temp gauge

[the great him]

ok so im looking for a trans temp gauge. i know some of you have them cause ive seen them, the one i saw and liked was mounted down by the shifter, it was a round gauge. i want one and need one. i would like a 1.5" diameter gauge but havent had any luck finding one. let me know what you guys got and what you like/dislike about it. and or if you have an extra one. thanks

I have an autometer 5347 ($55 on amazon)

It is 2" and is silver in color.



If you want a black one to match your trim, you could get an AEM gauge. Wilson has one.

what gauge is that? and how much? how hard was the instal? size? i know a ton of questions but im gonna be doing some much needed up grades and maintenance... trans cooler w/rad bypass, lbj, 231 tbu, and possibly an external oil cooler...


edit sorry 4-ripcord, i can read, just not today i guess lol

i have been looking at this one Sunpro CP7003 Sport St 2 Electrical Transmission Temperature Gauge Kit ive run sunpro gauges before and they have worked fine for me

I run the AEM 30-4402. It says the range is 100-300, but it will read under 100 with no problems, there will just not be an LED lit up on the outside until you hit 100.

Here is a link to the AEM site

Here is a picture of it installed.

i have been looking at this one

My only problem with that, and the reason I went with the AEM, is how far apart the spacing is. I like knowing that I am at exactly 123 degrees.

i never thought of that... and for you with the SC thats a big deal. hum... but $150 really hurts

I gave all that in my previous post. Check my build for the install, wasnt too bad.

Yeah, they're really not cheap, however, I think it's worth it. At night it's very unoffensive to the eyes, gives off next to no light. It has a sensor in it that can tell how bright it is outside, and it adjusts to that for optimum viewing. And I think it looks cool.

haha no problem. $55 isnt too bad though. Anything much less and I wouldn't trust it as an instrument. Autometer has nice stuff though.

just so you know i hate you both... cause i know they are both good products, if i go with the auto meter gauge i will kick my self later at some point im sure, but i cant afford $150 right now, but i love the AEM... do you guys want to help contribute to the isaac is jobless and needs the AEM trans temp gauge foundation!? it would be mighty swell of you, and i will send you a nice thank you card!:biggrin2::lol:

do either of you guys know what size openings the pillar gauge pods have?

52mm. The Lotek does atleast.

 

[the great him]

hey ripcord, do you have a pic of yours at night?

 

[twitchee2]

Was Going to say, if your going to spend 150 just get a scanguage but i just remembered you have to have i think a 2000ish to have the trans temp. That digital one AEM one looks awesome however.

so once again, been bit by the mod bug from reading too much t4r.org lol! I'm thinking about splurging on a tranny cooler, temp gauge and an ultra gauge. i found this tranny gauge that comes with the sensor and everything. Do you guys think it could be bad news?

I am rather pompous when it comes to installing things on my 4runner, and honestly, I think that's too good to be true, kinda. I don't think you will find any quality parts for that cheap.

yeah man i just looked these things up and they look like they are crap! there are a bunch of poser ricers that run these things. kind of remineds me of the APC stuff. (sorry if i offend, and some of you like APC) IMO anything sold at autozone or any chain auto store to make you car cool.... nevermind rant over lol

i too am all about using quality stuff for my truck. looks like i may just have to save for a scan guage woot woot!
