Need Trans. Temp. Guage But No Room
I have a 07 F-150 Lariat 5.4 and I need a tranny temp gauge for my trailer towing. My son told me somebody makes a unit that plugs into the OBD port and monitors different engine functions, like transmission temp., and can be used to read trouble codes. Does anybody have any information? Thanks

I have an edge evolution in my truck and it has the option to display trans fluid temp as well as a bunch of other stuff. And it comes with its on pod that mounts to the dash if you're worried about placement.

I have the same unit. Has multiple choices as far as the information it displays, I've used it to tune the truck and also to read error codes. Installs in about 5-10 mins and couldn't be easier

If you already have a tuner and don't need a edge I would get a AeroForce OBD2 gauge. Have owned two of them and there awesome. Reads basically any parameter your truck reads and you can set the gauge up to read two at a time and rotate between 4 different screens. So a total of 8 parameters displayed. The time each screen is displayed is adjustable as well. You can even set high/low alarms.
Had one in my 03 SuperCrew & 07 Ranger.

Haha some would say so but pushing the living crap out of a N/A 5.4L with 12# of boost while turn huge & heavy *** tires I liked to keep an eye on things.
On the Pillar Pod was Boost, Oil Pressure, and Fuel Pressure.
The Steering Pod was WideBand A/F.
The A/C Pod was the AeroForce OBD2 which I had set up to read MPG, Timing, IAT, Tranny Temp, RPMs, Volts, MAF Counts, Water Temp.

That's not gauge-happy ...
THIS is gauge-happy!
http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/el...x-instruments/
OP - another option is Scangauge II:
http://www.scangauge.com/
MANY more displayable PIDs than an Edge (and the ability to add extensible PID's with the Xgauge feature), plus a great mileage & trip computer, all without the crappy canned tunes or silly decals.
Has I/O, so you can daisy-chain 3 of them - for 12 simultaneous 'gauges'.
Works on MOST vehicles & protocols (unlike an Edge).
