Default who makes a good tranny temp gauge?

Just wondering who makes a electric tranny temp gauge I can use on my 4l80e? I am curently running a pi 3500 or so 10" stall with a 24gvw cooler but I am not sure what the tranny temps are running.

Why not swap clusters? I swapped in a SS cluster w/trans gauge.

I have the Autometer Sport Comp, very nice gauge and it matches the factory cluster w/the black face, white letters and red needles...

if you swap clusters you have to deal with the odometer changes and if you dont want any down time for getting th mileage programmed in then you run the risk of selling your truck with mileage unknown. not to mention the fact a cluster is about 6times as expensive as a temp gauge

cool I do want to get a aeroforce gauge but I will have to save a few more dollars. I thought the local parts store would carry a tranny temp gauge but no one has them. I guess I will have to order it.

they cyberdyne gauge is pretty inexpensive. 30 bucks or so. you can resale it if you do get the aeroforce scan gauge and get some of your money back.
