Installation | GlowShift Trans Temp Gauge In 3rd Gen 2003-2009 Dodge Ram 24 Valve Cummins

Except, always put your teflon tape on so the threads going on is in the same direction you're threading.

[@TarmanTheChampion]

Ayy! I didn't know this! Or that it mattered. Thanks for the advice :)

[@devilinbaggypants7320]

That big clump of loose wires bouncing around in the dash near the pedals shouldn’t be an issue down the road. 🙄

[@TarmanTheChampion]

Awesome youtube channel! And the fact you guys take the time to answer customers questions, even helping them out with any advice, that's pretty damn cool!

[@GlowShift]

Thank you for the compliment!

@:50 you're putting the teflon tape on counterclockwise which will unravel it when you thread it in

[@radiorick4975]

I'd like you see you do a video on temperature with the factory cooler versus auxiliary. I know different parts of the country have different climates might need to go into that also. I'm thinking of adding an auxiliary cooler bypassing Factory chamber. We have some cold days here wondering about confused sensors on those days. I definitely think a standalone cooler would be beneficial with our hot Texas days. And of course we have to have AC. And our Ray Wylie Hubbard and Cody Canada rather than the music on that video.

what parts would i need for this to work on my 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3L? I've been reading most parts are already available on my truck and just need a gauge. just haven't checked everything yet. truck already has the trans cooler and pulling my 3K lb RV soon up a bunch of hills...might not actually be needed but wanna be safe. Thank you

[@samd410]

it has 62TE transmission. also does towing damage what part of the transmission. I am planning on towing a 3500 # travel trailer 2000 miles. it has a built in transmission cooler integrated with air the conditioning condenser. do I have to worry. my caravan has only 7000 miles on the odometer. thanks.

This is what I did to it from yesterday and today on my car It started running hot.. I bought some antifreeze... It was still running hot.. Then I found out my radiator was busted... Got a new radiator.. Still running hot... Got a new thermostat.. Still running hot... He bleed the system twice... So he thought I had a slight crack in my head gasket I put some blue devil in it.... Let it sealed up... Still running hot... We went and got a water pump... Still running hot!!!! Now it's saying transmission over temp... What else can I do I have a 2006 Jeep Cherokee Laredo

[@dunnoyolo2238]

Cant you install it without extender ?

[@anthonyc8157]

that's a sloppy install if I do say so myself. what's with the ball of wire shoved up underneath the dash and you give a little piece of wire loom just the reach behind the pillar. but nothing to cover the wires in the engine baby and the sensor on the transmission could use a waterproof plug. unless you're in Arizona I gave that connection six months before it's got corrosion in it and the gauge doesn't read right.

[@Steve63115]

Let me know when you put one in a transaxle transmission... i.e. 2012 Odyssey

[@GlowShift]

Thank you for the interest in our product! Yes, the test port will work, but you'll need an extender you'll need. This is the extender: www.glowshiftdirect.com/transmission-test-port-extender.aspx

[@xxtimo_titanxx7189]

Do you need to drain the transmission temp or that test port is high enough that the liquid doesn't come out?

[@GlowShift]

If you're fast enough, not a lot of liquid should come out. Check out some of our newer install videos.

[@steveyoung8992]

Great video👍👍👍 just ummm would'nt be sticking my hand up between the exhaust & trans when it's hot like that.....

Hello, I'm trying to install one of your gauges in an 03 Dakota 4x4 with a 4.7. I don't see a test port near the pan, however, and don't want to block something by putting it in the wrong port. I also want to be sure it is in contact with flowing fluid so it gives me an accurate temp reading. Can you help me, please? Thanks in advance! --Dan M.

[@GlowShift]

+Dan Meredith Hello, unfortunately, I am also unaware if there is a test port available. Your best bet will be installing a t-fitting adapter in the hot trans cooler line. You would just need to find an adapter that matches the diameter of your cooler lines, but also has a female 1/8th NPT threaded port on it.

[@alejandronunez8232]

Can you just connect the wires to the battery with a switch inside you truck

[@rexondex9560]

Will this work for a 2008 Nissan Sentra se r cvt transmission?

[@MotionPotion3]

Will this fit a 46RE in the same test port? I’m assuming yes because they’re borderline the same transmission?

[@GlowShift]

Yes, just double check the threads.

[@robbydodson91789]

I have a 1972 chevy stepvan, I'm wondering if something that old has a transmission test port. If not what parts will I need.

[@GlowShift]

+Robby Dodson Unfortunately, there would be no way for us to verify if that transmission does an available test port you could use. Also, we would recommend installing a t-fitting adapter into the hot trans cooler line, however, you'd need to determine the diameter of those lines in order to find the correct adapter you would need.

[@timothywelch9043]

I am looking to install a transmission temp gauge on a 2013 Chevy Traverse. are there any that plug directly into the computer port inside the car? what trans temperature gauge do you recommend? I am looking for a decent gauge but is easy to install and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. your elite 10 color transmission gauge caught my eye but not sure if it would work or how hard it is to install

[@GlowShift]

Timothy Welch Thanks for contacting us. I did a little research on your 2013 Chevy Traverse and there is a pressure test port on the transmission that you can thread a sensor into, but please confirm the thread size before installing. I could not find a size on the port, but our transmission temp sensors are 1/8-27 NPT so you may need to use an adapter to install the sensor. The Elite 10 Color Transmission Temp Gauge (120° - 300°F) is a great choice as it features an electronic temp sensor, plug and play connectivity with a 6ft sensor wire harness as well as peak recall functions and programmable high and low warnings that will alert you when you reach that set temp level visually and/or audibly. If you have any other questions or concerns don't hesitate to ask!

[@renedelafuente123]

I have a question for GlowShift. I installed a oil and tranny temp guages. Both work great except when I put on heater inside truck both guages read very hot abot 270. I check both fluids and both are correct with no heat at all. I was thinking a wire would be touching something very hot like manifold but both of them at the same time, I routed both wires different routes. I don't think so. Can you give me a clue? Thanks for the video.

[@GlowShift]

Tony Garza Thanks for contacting us about the issue you're having with your gauges. This is the first time we're hearing about an issue like this and it seems like there could be some type of interference. If you could please send me an email to [e-mail] with your order number, phone number and a good time to reach you, I will have one of my technical support specialists contact you directly to see what exactly is causing that issue.

[@GlowShift]

Anthony Garza Thanks for contacting us! The test port you can thread the sensor to is in that exact location about 3 inches above the shifter linkage. You'll just simply remove that bolt and thread the transmission temp sensor right there! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!

[@GlowShift]

+Daniel Plotzke The gauge can be installed because it is universal. However, I am not sure if your vehicle's transmission does have a test port, nor the thread size that it would be.

[@crizy50]

Hi sir , can i derictly connect it to my temp sensor,? Mitsubishi lancer 2004 ,

+crizy50 Unfortunately the gauge cannot connect to the factory temperature sensor of your 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer. You will have to install the included 1/8-27 NPT temperature sensor that comes with the Transmission Temperature Gauge.

I'm plan on installing a glowshift temp sensor on my 1996 xj.I know a need an adaptor to install the sensor in the aw4 transmission test port but can you tell me if I will also need an sensor extender also?

[@GlowShift]

+Exocartonic I don't believe you'll need the extender, although I can not say for sure. The main thing you want to determine is if your test port is a 1/8th NPT thread size or not.

[@Exocartonic]

+GlowShift Gauges I know I will need an auto meter metric adaptor m14-1.5 to thread in the 1/8" sensor I just want to be sure that the sensor won't interfere with the inner workings without the extender.

[@GlowShift]

+Exocartonic I would recommend the use of the extender as a precaution. It is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your vehicle's transmission.

[@Exocartonic]

+GlowShift Gauges do you have an m14-1.5 extender for your 1/8" sensor? or a 1/8" extender.

[@GlowShift]

As much as you guys charge for the gauge itself you want people to spend all this extra money on this extra wiring that should already come with the gauge is a joke selling a gauge without the necessary equipment to install the gauge and to make it work properly is like buying a brand new car without the engine and the dealership making the engine and extra expense

[@GlowShift]

Thank you for your concern. Because our gauges are universal, it is impossible to include every single adapter or fitting to work with every single vehicle ever made, which is why we choose to have them listed as additional add-on accessories. Customers can purchase exactly what they need for their specific vehicle. As far as wiring is concerned, our gauges can be wired without purchasing anything additional. We only suggest that the additional wiring will make installation easier.
