My truck was orginally equipped with the 60e. I have done the 80e swap while back. I know the trucks without the gauge are setup for the gauge regardless. But when the tranny swap is made does everything still work if the gauge is added..thanks Nick

 

I would assume so, seeing that the majority of the heavy duty trucks that came factory with the gauge also had the 80e. Assuming you wired it in correctly the gauge should work.

 

Yes as long as you wireup the 80E correctly

 

Well I bought the harness from nelson so it was just plug and play minus two pins that had to be added to the harness. I ordered a white overlay with the trans temp, new stepper motor and needles. So I hope so, I will take pics and do a how to if it works. I already have blue leds soildered in so I will just add the extra led for the trans gauge.

 

Actually yes. I would like to see how to ad the stepper motor

 

the cluster is prepunched for the stepper. the holes are there ready to go. drop the stepper in and soilder the four pins on the back side of the cb.

 

any pics of the install? You have me interested now.

 

I haven't done it yet, waiting on the parts to do it. I will take pics and post ul how too if it works.

 

You could have done what I did and added an Aeroforce gauge.
