Transmission Temperature gauge kit for 07 Silverado?
I am sure this question has been covered but I can't seem to find an answer using the search on here. So if it is posted somewhere else, just point me to it please.
I have a 2007 Silverado 1500 LT. I want a transmission temperature gauge for it. I have been looking around at the option and I am unsure about what to go with. It appears there are three options. Option 1: Gauge with sending unit that installs in the trans oil line. Option 2: Gauge with sending unit that installs in a port in the tranny itself (if available). Option 3: An OBD2 plug that send the temp to an Android smartphone via bluetooth. So here are my questions. Question 1: Of the three options, which is the best? Question 2: Does the transmission on my truck (4L60E) have a port that can be used for option 2, and if does; what is a good kit to be used with this option? Question 3: Does the transmission really already have an internal temperature sensor that can be accessed via the OBD2 option and how reliable is this method? Question 4: If option 2 and 3, are not available or reliable, what is the best kit for option 1? Thanks guys. |

I am not sure what you mean by GMT 800 or 900. I went with the OBD2 reader, but have not found an app that can show transmission temps yet. I thought people were using Torque, but I have not found way to do it with torque yet and I generally don't like torque so far because it refuses to switch to the American measurement system even though I have set all the settings to Miles, Gallons, Fahrenheit, etc. |
