Default Trans Temp Gauge

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone has installed an aftermarket transmission temperature gauge on a 5.4? If you have, could you list the steps. I appreciate it!

Here is what I believe and many others to be the best of the best. Obviously it comes with a good price tag on it. But there are cheaper options.

yeah, in soon time I'll be towing a bit and I've seen some threads that say things heat up when they're about to break. That being said, I'd like a transmission temp gauge, I figured why not.

I used a product called a ScanGauge II fairly cheap to buy and plugs right into the ODBII port ..... it will tell you Transmission temp, Fuel Economy, Water Temp Cylinder Head Temp etc. also will scan and clear codes

I'll answer the question you actually asked.

Yes I have, plenty of them. There is what's called a test port in the side of the tranny that a temp probe can be installed directly into!

Google 4R70W test port
