Transmission temperature gauge.

[Redleg529]

Greetings...new to this forum. I am hoping someone can help me out on if there is a way to install a transmission temperature gauge on a 2007 Ram 1500? I've looked online and all I see are ones for diesels. I am towing an RV and just would like to have something to keep an eye on that. I read somewhere that a guy had an OBD bluetooth device and could check that way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You would need the "CNC" version for CAN bus, but this is what I use:

What brand is that and what all does that measure?

Aeroforce Intercepter. Varies between PCI and CAN bus. Full list on their website, but pretty much any PID that can be accessed from the OBD port.

Thank you! Looks easier than driving around with my scanner plugged in and trying to read live data at the same time.

It is, I usually keep it on digital speedo and engine temp for normal driving. When I'm towing I switch it to engine temp and trans temp. It can read/clear DTC's, has speed timers, etc etc. Pretty versatile.
