I'm not talking about that, the LED backlight went out after 6 months.

Purchased and installed June 2020. Today 3rd November the backlight is not working and will not turn on. Only the needle glows. Pressing the button or disconnecting the harness does not work. What now? I can't see what it says, and I can't just rip it out with a gaping hole in the dash.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Piggy Bank Price

Transmission temperature monitoring during towing.

Installed in my Mini Chevy G30 RV. Needed a 2 inch hole saw for the dash cutout. The fit was perfect and connected as described. I liked the brightness, didn't connect a blunt wire. Uses the pressure port on the gearbox for the sensor. Installation was easy with easy to follow instructions. After a few weeks of use it is working perfectly. I set this to keep an eye on the temp while towing. Gives me peace of mind in my old RV.

Pros
  • Handy part
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Every sensor they sell comes with lots of wires going from the sensor to the motor or elsewhere. Except in this caliber, it comes with 2 foot seat belts! So if your sensor is not within 2 feet of your transmission you will need a separate "extension" as they call it. I don't know where to buy it, but it says in the instructions, the wiring harness doesn't even have double insulation, only thin wires stick out, so be sure to take shrink wrap or some other protective wrap for the wires.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Negative impression

The device is also very nice from the back

The device is also very nice from the back. It also comes with a nice connector on the back. I give 3 stars because as the load on the generator increases, the voltage per thermometer drops several degrees. When I turn on my two electric fans, the temperature drops about 4 degrees. Another downside is that the color memory resets sometimes, but I'll try plugging the DC power cord into a new power supply and maybe it will fix it, but I doubt it. The temperature seems to be accurate, but how…

Pros
  • One year trial period
Cons
  • A few small things

GloShift 7 Color Trans Temp Gauge

I bought this transmission gauge for my Ford Super Duty as I am towing a 5 wheel RV and was curious as to what is going on with my transmission temp. Since we often camp in the mountains, we often drive on steep gravel roads or maneuver in places that are difficult to access. This sensor opened my eyes to how quickly the temperature in my transmission was rising! Any transmission temp sensor will work, but I've looked for one that has the same digit increment. Many had good spacing at lower…

Pros
  • Very Good Value
Cons
  • No

Great sensor in sensors

Glowshift is definitely better than other big brands I've used. I used an Autometer from their factory match line and it was rubbish. I had to go through three broadcast blocks to get a good one and the autometer gauge also had a sticky arrow. I had to click on it to get the reading. It also had screw posts and knife clamps. I needed something accurate and reliable, and Autometer didn't fit. Decided to try glowshift. The glowshift transmitter unit has a ground wire so unlike other brands you…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Doesn't go with everything
