Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you, I am finishing a car for SEMA and it has been putting all my other projects on the back burner.
The pod looks really good! Muck better than the first one. Nice work!

The mount looks good, but why do you need a gauge that shows you readings of things you already have gauges for? You have a trans temp and coolant temp gauge in your factory cluster. Maybe you can't see the exact temperature, but it is still there. I would only install gauges to measure things I have no gauge for.

I like to monitor the trans a bit closer than the stock gauge allows. Beyond that, the aeroforce will also monitor any thing the OBD does. It will read and clear codes too.

Seriously though, the OEM dummy gauges are not all that accurate. Aftermarkets give a real time number. I am not sure what temperature a truck overheats... N,O,R,M,A, or L degrees.

Well an overheat condition is not supposed to be reached until the needle reaches the red line on H (260 degrees?). Over the course of driving if you notice it getting closer to the hot range, you would then know you had an issue to look into. I understand you want accuracy, but we are not flying space shuttles (as Mustang said).
