Tranny Help

2008, F450, 6.4, I'm looking to install some old fashion guages. Question I have is with the TRANNY sensor. Where does it plug into?

Why not just get something to plug into the OBD port?

Remember that the PCM collects data from a number of different sensors in the truck, and this data is available with the right tool from the OBDII port.

I have a Scangauge. I plug it in and it allows me to read coolant temp, intake air temp, transmission temp, manifold pressure, and a whole lot more. I don't have the hassle or expense of running wires throughout the truck nor do I have warranty problems by drilling and tapping things that otherwise shouldn't be.

Some other ones are:

DashDaq
Banks IQ
Aeroforce Interceptor

The Aeroforce Interceptor is setup for a standard gauge pod and would work great for your setup. That would be my better idea!
