How hard are these to do? I would greatly like to install one of these myself, and if so how difficult is it? How would I mount the guage? Do the A pillar pods support a guage even with the edge pod in?

there is a port right above the shift linkage, a small plug you take out and install the temp sensor. Its very easy to do. Im sure a gauge pod would fit

 

Thanks built5.4! Is there any electrical worries i would have to encounter, or do the guages go straight off the line that you put in that plug? I suck at anything electrical and it scarres me a little bit thinking of having to wire something to something else. Also where could I get a single pod-holder?

hmm try ebay, im not really sure where to look, but the tranny temp gauge is a very good thing to have. Just one wire from the sending unit you put in the tranny goes to the gauge, then an ignition wire, a ground, and splice into your parking light wire under the dash, its easy to find, the instructions will help you. Id suggest autometer phantom series

 

I haven't done this yet, I'm still in the planning stages. But it doesn't look too hard. Of course, the electrical wiring will probably be the toughest, but not too bad.

I will be going with a two-gauge pillar and installing oil pressure and trans temp.

Built54 - did you have get a different sending unit to use that port in the transmission? I was reading on this post (https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=198633) that some people had to use a different sending unit, a shorter one. They were using an autometer 2259, it says it's for something like cylinder head temp, but they were using it for trans temp.

 

hmm my autometer kit came with one that fit, i dont know anything about a shorter one.
