trans temp gauge

[FordNut]

My electric sending unit on my autometer oil pressure guage just quit again!

I'm going with the real thing now.

I'm on my third one. I'll hit 100k next week.

If Autometer sends me another sending unit free, I'll leave it. I cut open the last worn out sender. I wish they'd get into the 21st centry already

You can probably find a higher quality sender compatible with the Autometer gauge from VDO, Nordskog, etc.

has anybody else done this and what gauge did you use

Autometer Ultra Lite Gauge and the Autometer Trans Oil Temp MANIFOLD for the line.
Does anyone ask before jury rigging up something of their pwn ???

Sorry to hi-jack, but what is the difference between the UL and UL II?

I plan on replacing the stock OP and Volt gauges with real, matching gauges and adding the tranny temp gauge where the lighter is. Just wondering which to go with?

I figure the tranny temp gauge would be good to do at the same time the new FRPP tranny cooler goes in.

See the thread on Aeroforce Tech Scangauge!!!!

what is the difference between the UL and UL II?

The UL have perimeter lighting using an incandescent bulb. The UL II gauges are back-lit using an LED. Both look exactly the same in daylight, but at night, the face of the UL II appears to change from light to dark, just like the dashboard instrumentation, and it's MUCH easier to read than the UL. It's also easier to install, using spade lugs instead of the stud-and-nut used by the UL.

I know... it's an old thread, but I can't find the part#'s for the ultraliteII's
I'm looking for the "functional" oil pressure guage, volts guage and a trans temp guage. I f you guys could hook me up with the #'s it would be great.

Right here.

Thank you much!! Wish I would have thought of going directly to their site!! DUH

Autometer Ultralite. The one that looks similar to the factory. I will replace it soon with the UltraLite II one. I dont like how this one is so hard to read at night.

Thank You!
I just thought that I was going blind due to advancing age!
My Ultralite gauges are hard to read at night, even with the brightness adjusted all the way up.

Crap!
That figures! The Ultalite II were not available when I bought my gauges.
My Ultralite gauges look great during the day, but at night they are the 'reverse' of the OEM gauges.
Oh well....I'll add that to the list of mods that I can't afford.


BTW: While driving around in today's cold weather my transmission temperature barely got above 100 degrees either before or after the coolers.

That isn't good is it, not having the trans warm up to the right temp?

I was wondering the same thing...but it shifted perfectly and ran like a top...ask the guy in the M3 on the BW Pkwy....
