Trans Temp Gauge

Has anyone added a factory trans temp gauge to their 06 cluster? Can it be done? I know the diesels and the Escalades/Denalis have this on their clusters, but the 1500s didn't get it. Even with the trailering package!! I also see companies willing to do it for a few hundred dollars, but I'd like to do it myself if the parts and capability is there. Plus, seding my cluster out is not an option at this time. Thanks

The 1500s are already wired for the temp gage. If you get a cluster from a 2500 it is plug and play. The mileage is only kept in the cluster so you would need to get the new cluster programed with correct miles. There are people on e-bay who will sell you a cluster programed with your miles. This is the easiest way. It only takes 15 to 20 minutes to change them out.

 

People have added the temp gage to their original cluster. A lot of trouble in my opinion.

 

Have a good one,

Scott, you have several options now to be able to read your trans temp. I researched this very hard and determined the best method was an Interceptor Scan Gauge by Aeroforce. This is a round gauge that reads approx 26 to 28 functions (2 at a time) all from your trucks computer. You mount it on your "A" Pillar and it plugs into your OBD II diagnostic port down by your emergency brake. Also there are some newer models (other brands) out there that read up to 4 functions at a time.

 

This is a simple plug and play system.

 

I have some pics of mine but I am not on my PC right now. If you search this forum you will see where they have been posted before, I think as late as yesterday.

I have the same model in my YukonXL as well (just not as nice an install as this one).

Definitely recommend it.

Thanks Patrick. I have finally discovered how to post pics but I was using my Wife's laptop and my pics are in mine.

 

Maybe this will help Scott make up his mind.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      I wonder kind of nuts and bolts they will come up with next? Jim
