Default Need help finding obd2 transmission temp gauge

After several transmission rebuids i'm finally having one built for towing. I've heard that you can get an obd2 plug in reader that will let me see the trans temp. Thats all i'm really interested in as i only tow a camper with this truck.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Hopefully the least expensive the better as i'm already spending over 5k for the trans. rebuild.
Thanks in advance ,Russ

Any tuner would do it. Not familiar with Bulldog smart pup 3 in your signature but the Bulldog GT series does it all day long.

Cheapest way is a $15 temp gauge from the auto parts store run right to the test port on the transmission. Took me an hour and a half to install in my driveway on my old '04 1500...
