Nope. And if you have a 97 with a 360, it should have a temp gauge already for the transmission. Mine does. But... mine only says, hey temperatures high, somethings wrong. It has no actual readout... its a light that says temp gauge on the A/C-Heater Controls.
To wire it basically put a temp probe in the pan by either drilling and tapping for one or the Mag-Hytec will already have that.
Once the probe is in run the wire from the probe along the frame and into the cab through an existing grommet. If its a stepper motor gauge, like most are I believe... run 12 volts to the gauge for power and there you go.

i don't tow all the time but i have a 14' pop up camper that i use and about once a month im towing a new car home. with my first ram the only reason i didn't get rid of it after 1 tranny was because it was all under warranty. dodge replaced them every time. i drive in a lot of areas where there are tons of stop lights and stop signs and damn old people on the road (thats florida for you) so its hard to have a manual in anything i drive.
I know i want to be able to tow and drive normally i just don't want to deal with tranny issues any more. i just have to find a good tranny shop here in st pete and see what their reviews are by other people around here. i only know how to build ford transmissions, too many drag ready mustangs, had to learn after a while

Can someone confirm what exactly ignites the tranny temp gauge in the heater controls?
