the bully dog tuner has a trans temp reading on their display.
i wonder if just replacing the instrament cluster with one that has the trans temp guage in it would work?

yes it will, all the wiring is there on the 1500s along with the temp wire from the transmision. GM just decided not to put the gauge on lol

thats what i would do then, find a cluster at the junk yard or somewhere and swap them out.

Yes, its plug and play. I did one on my 02 1500. Search junk yards or online. if you find one in a junk yard you will have to have it programed for the milage thats on your truck. If you buy it off line then sometimes the seller (if they can, will reprogram it for you).

I just didnt know the cost of reprograming

jking002 · by **jking002** » Aug 01 2011, 1:19am

The price will be different for different places. I think I ended up paying $275 for the cluster and to reprogram, and send in my old cluster.
