I added this to my Jeep Cherokee. I wired it into the harness I already had for my after marked radio it has all the connections you need right there. I picked this one because of the weather tight connection at the sensor and that you only need to tap into 1 ground total instead of 1 ground for the gauge and one for the sensor like most others. Also the additional digital display makes it easier to read at a glance.

I ordered this guage after I replaced my transmission cooler lines to watch them temps to make sure everything was cooling right. My first order came with all the wiring and the probe but no guage. I submitted a return and they shipped out a new guage the same day no questions asked. Just have to drop the old on off at ups and send it back. I put this on my 99 f250 superduty with the 4r100 transmission. Was easy to install as long as you have some knowledge with wiring. The wires are a little skimpy but for the price it's really nice. Probe screwed right into the test port on the transmission. Easy to read instructions. Nice and bright during the day. Haven't tested it at night yet but I have it hooked up through my dimmer switch so hopefully it isn't to bright. Overall very nice and responsive. Time will tell how long this guage last but for now I love it

I got this because I bought a camper to pull behind my SUV. I was concerned about overheating my transmission. I think the installation would be easy, but I took it to a shop and they did it quickly. I have great peace of mind now that I can see the transmission temp. I like the digital and analog read outs and I like the 3 levels of brightness. I would recommend this.

Easy install , looks good and am very happy that I have it. Double check and make sure you know if you will need a pot extension , I called glow and they had the answer for me.update: worked for 2 days and now all it does is blink. They wont even send a replacement unless I send this in first. I have to rip it all out just to put it all back in so its like doing it twice. Im done with glowstick, going with a different brand.Update again: as I began to remove the unit to send back for refund I found that the cable had burned , possibly made contact with a exhaust pipe. I cut out the bad section, spliced the wires back together and placed a protective non metallic flame retardant conduit over the wire. Everything works again and I recommend this product once again. Just be careful to not place lines where they can get burned .

I installed this on my 94 jeep Cherokee because I didn't have a transmission temperature gauge. Once I figured out where I wanted to install the sender, this ended up being a pretty simple install. The hardest part was wiring and running wires. I say hard because of the awkward positions I had to get into to complete the task. I ended up installing the sender on the transmission oil line out, just under the harmonic balancer on the rubber hose. Made a quick trip to Lowe's for some brass fittings and some automotive wire loom to run the thin wires through. Very bright gauge though. This does not bother me as does others. One thing to think about is that this gauge says it has 6 brightness settings. That is true, only if you wire the guage in a certain way that the instructions say. On my vehicle, that was a bigger task than I really wanted to deal with. I do however get 3 brightness settings. The 3 daylight settings are the only ones I can use unless I run extra wires through the firewall back to the fuse panel under the hood. I simply just used the fuse panel under the dash to save time and effort.

I bought this guage to monitor transmission fluid temps when towing a 4300 lb boat with my 2003 Ford Explorer. I bought a Trick Flow deep trans pan from Summit Racing (sorry Amazon, you didn't stock it !) and installed that too. I had a friend tap a 1/8 NPT port (for the temp sensor) on the rear side of the pan. I mounted this guage (alongside a Max Tow engine oil temp guage) at the forward end of the console. (see picture) The temperature when towing on 95 degree days stays between 160-1185 degrees. The 5 speed trannys in the Exploders are known to overheat. Fluid is cooled by 3 ways: hot fluid out to factory cooler, then to a B & M auxiliary cooler, and then to the deep sump Trick Flow pan. So far, so good. No issues. Some reviewers said the guages are bright. Yes, they are, but being mounted at the forward part of the console keeps the light down low enough so that it doesn't interfere with night time driving. All in all, great guage and Amazons great price.

I had to install a "tee" in the hot line from the transmission to the cooler because my 2007 Highlander has an internal sender which operates a light. This was easy, and the gauge worked superbly. There are no aftermarket pods for a Highlander so I had to improvise when it came to mounting the gauge - settled with a temporary mount. I had to tow a 4000 lb trailer 1000 miles so I wanted to keep an eye on the transmission temperature, and this gauge worked fine, was easy to read while driving even at night. Disconnected and removed the gauge following the trip.

The guage functions perfectly, responds quickly, and I love it- during the daytime. At night, it is absolutely unusable without a broken off sunglass lens propped in front of it:) I installed it in my dash right before a road trip, and I disconnected it when night hit. Yes, it is that bright, shining at you. If it was installed in a guage pod on your A-pillar.... Good luck:)However, having said that, put a piece of dark plastic over it and go. It's awesome. I would definitely buy another one. The digital display is much better than looking at an analog one. I love it in spite of its one minor flaw. As long as you know it needs a shade going in, you can't go wrong with it.
