Another issue is older transmission fluid. A Cummins trans temp gauge will monitor transmission temperatures during a larger haul and alert you in the event of temperature spikes. One of the major factors in reducing the life of a Ram’s transmission is overheating, and one of the main reasons a truck transmission overheats is due to the strain of towing larger and heavier amounts of cargo. The sensor easily installs to your transmission test port or in place of the stock sensor. Once you connect the included electronic transmission temperature sensor with 1/8-27 NPT male threads, this trans temp gauge will effectively take readings from 80° to 260° Fahrenheit.
This gauge allows you to closely monitor the temperature of your transmission, ensuring that it does not overheat causing significant damage. GlowShift’s 5.9L Cummins EGT gauge also comes with a 2’ power harness and 6’ steel braided sensor harness with waterproof connector that plugs into the probe’s connector.Ī Transmission Temperature Gauge is essential for any 5.9L Cummins with an automatic 47RH or 47RE transmission, especially Rams that are towing heavy loads. The EGT probe and power connections are made utilizing seamless Plug and Play connectivity to make the process even easier. This Ram EGT gauge comes with everything required for installation, including the 1/8-27 NPT Type K Thermocouple EGT Probe with a Waterproof Connector that features 3’ of steel braided cable and 1/8-27 NPT threads. The Cummins 1500 EGT gauge is also designed for Ram trucks that are traveling longer distances and towing heavy loads, two factors which can at times put more stress on the engine and generate higher exhaust gas temperatures. This method will provide you with extremely accurate temperature readings. The quick and easy installation process for the included EGT Probe involves drilling and tapping the exhaust manifold to 1/8-27 NPT and then threading and tightening the included EGT Probe. With unique features such as simple Plug and Play connectors for the power and sensor harnesses, this exhaust gas temperature gauge can be activated in no time and will effectively take readings from 0 to 1500° Fahrenheit. This gauge will ensure that your exhaust temperature is not running too hot which could result in turbo failure. The 1500° F Pyrometer EGT Gauge is essential for anyone driving a 1994-1997 Dodge Ram 12v 5.9L Cummins 2500 & 3500 who is pushing for maximum output from their diesel engine. Complete with all of the color options and lighting effects that come standard with these gauges, the interior of your 94-97 Ram will be upgraded and enhanced by the addition of either gauge. Also included is a 2’ power wire attached to the back of the gauge, a dimmer wire that dims the gauge 30% for easier nighttime viewing, a gauge visor, mounting hardware and installation instructions.
Both of these mechanical gauges also come with everything required for the install, including 9’ of Boost Line and 1/8-27 NPT Compression Fittings which give you access to extremely accurate readings. This turbo boost gauge will ensure your turbo is performing at optimum levels and that it does not overboost which could cause critical engine damage. GlowShift’s 5.9L Cummins 60 PSI Boost Gauge is designed for any Dodge Ram running high boost pressure.

However, for additional aftermarket turbo and modifications a 60 PSI boost gauge is strongly recommended since it gives drivers more flexibility in the future. Stock levels run at about 15-20 PSI, but with a tuned Cummins diesel engine those boost pressure levels typically run from 30-35 PSI, which is why the 35 PSI boost gauge is an ideal fit. The 5.9L Cummins 35 PSI Boost Gauge was made for any 94-97 Cummins running a stock turbo, giving you the ability to easily monitor your Dodge Ram’s boost levels from 0 to 35 PSI through one gauge.
