hey i was just wonderin how to hook a tranny temp guage to the tranny i havent bought anything yet just kinda curious i got a 02 silverado with a 5.3 and a 4l60e thanks

 

Check out SPEEDOMETER-SALES-AND-SERVICE on eBay. They upgraded mine to the SS cluster that has the tranny temp gauge, along with a bunch of other mechanical and programming updates. Lightning fast turnaround and friendly service.

 

Swap gage clusters. It's as easy as sin and looks good too.

 

Swap clusters (as mentioned), or buy an aftermarket gauge. It will come with a sender - screw it into the pressure port. Or you can get a weld bung, have it welded to the tranny pan and screw the sender into it.

 

or an aeroforce gauge will show it too if you want to go that route, i have both that and one in the cluster..

 

how much did the whole guage swap run ya i'd like to do that beings its got the tranny temp in it and it'll give me a 120mph speedometer beings mine stops at 100 and now the speed limiter is gone i could use 120

 

You have 2 choices, unless new ones have come, the SSS or Denali clusters both have the 120mph/trans temp gauges. I think I paid ~$200? It was a while ago.

 

He has an '02, the SSS won't work, but Escalade or Denali will.

 

Snake, if running SSS / Esky / or Denali cluster, no mods or wires need to hook up to run trans temp gauge that comes on those clusters, right? It's just a plug & play I believe on SSS & the other 2. Correct me if I'm wrong.

But, if I were to go to an Autometer, ...any idea on weld bung size for pan? Cause I haven't decided which way i'll go yet either.

OP, if Trever1t says it's easy, it must be.

 

I'm sure rick put it in for him.

I have a 99 and got the denali cluster for 250 on ebay. Works great looks good and dropped right in.
