Where could I find them and how much do they cost?

Here's where I purchased mine. A little better price.

AF makes nice gauges. Now all you need is another so you can pair them up
According to what I'm reading in the information provided on their website, for the SR gauge, the second one wouldn't read anything because nothing on the list is in red as per the footnote in those notes.

Taken from their site...

"Chrysler (non-CAN) Vehicles – SR series gauges:
Platforms:
Platform 1: Neon SRT4, Neon, PT Cruiser
Platform 2: Ram, Durango, Dakota, 300m, Intrepid, Stratus, Sebring, Concord, LHS, Liberty

1. INTAKE AIR- Intake Air Temperature taken at the throttle body inlet
2. AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE – air temperature at the air filter
3. COOLANT TEMP- Engine Coolant Temperature
4. RPM- engine Revolutions Per Minute
5. CALCULATED AIR FLOW RATE- Mass Air Flow (lbs/min) calculated by the PCM
6. BAROMETRIC PRESSURE – ambient (outside) air pressure
7. MANIFOLD PSI- Manifold Air Pressure (boost-psi)
8. THROTTLE POS PCT- Throttle Position percentage (0-100%)
9. THROTTLE VOLTS- Throttle Position sensor output (0-5 volts)
10. MILES PER HOUR- Miles Per Hour
11. KNOCK RETARD- Total Knock Retard (degrees)
12. ST KNOCK RETARD – Short term knock retard
13. LT KNOCK RETARD – Long term knock retard
14. FUEL KNOCK RETARD – ST + LT knock retard
15. KNOCK SENSOR RAW VOLTAGE – voltage output of knock sensor
16. WASTEGATE SOLENOID % DUTY CYCLE – programmed wastegate Duty cycle, 0-100%
17. SHORT TRIM FUEL TRIM- short term fuel trim
18. LONG TRIM FUEL TRIM– long term fuel trim
19. OXYGEN SENSOR - O2 bank 1 sensor in millivolts
20. FUEL LEVEL – amount of fuel in the tank in gallons.
21. EXHAUST GAS TEMP – calculated/determined by the PCM
22. TRANS TEMP- Transmission Temperature (auto transmission only)
23. RUN TIME MINS- engine run time since last engine start. Can be used as a trip timer.
24. BATTERY VOLTAGE- Alternator/battery output voltage
25. BATTERY TEMP - Battery Temperature
26. PULSE WIDTH- injector pulse width
27. FUEL TEMPERATURE
28. BASE SPARK TIMING – timing level commanded by the PCM before adjustments due to temperature, knock, etc.
29. SPARK ADJUST – adjustments made to base spark timing
30. IGNITION ADVANCE- final ignition timing advance after adjustments
31. ENGINE LOAD-calculated Engine Load (0-100%)
32. Miles Per Gallon- instantaneous fuel economy
33. Calculated net horsepower
34. TOTAL MISFIRES- Total misfires of all cylinders.
35. P Ratio – Pressure Ratio MAP/BAROMETER
36. Analog 1 – analog input #1.
37. Analog 2 – analog input #2

All second gauges of a dual set will only support highlighted in red parameters due to limitations of
the OBD2 bus. Single gauges and primary gauges of dual sets will support all the above parameters."

If I'm reading this correctly, for our vehicles, the second gauge would be a complete waste of money because it wouldn't read a single thing, Nothing on this list is in RED.

On the older years 03-05 its a one gauge show. On the newer rams 06+ the can-bus system makes it so you can run the dual setup. I have seen one or two older SR gauges ran in dual mode but not sure what they did.

If you do happen to find out what they did, please post. I was contemplating a dual gauge setup. It's not a big deal though. One gauge that cycles through whatever information I want to see is going to work just fine for me. I just figured two would look cooler than one, but really not necessary.

Has anyone verified whether the model for the CANBUS RAMs actually reads the transmission temperature or not? I just found out that the SC programmer definitely does not.

I just ordered a single AeroForce Interceptor. I will of course post details once i have it installed.

I considered the dual gauge system but opted not to for a few reasons.

1. As it is, more then 90% of what this gauge displays is not stuff you NEED to see real time, all the time. With that being said, why would i need an additional gauge to display even more non critical information?

2. Mounting. I ordered an SRT Single pod A Pillar setup for this. I have the factory "Oh S**T" handle A pillar cover so i did not want a multi gauge pod. So if i went with dual gauge, i would need to mount the other gauge elsewhere, which would be annoying or mount the gauges in a totally different location. And their is no way to do that without making them looking like add ons. I prefer a more factory look with everything built in.

3. Cost. Again, almost $150.00 more for a second gauge that will display data i simply don't need to see all them time. You are not losing any features by going with a single gauge. You simply lose the ability to see more of it at the same time. And for me, that is not at all worth $150.00. With the single gauge, the pod and shipped for both, i am still saving $80 over the dual gauge setup before i even buy a mounting system for both.

In my opinion, the dual gauge version is complete overkill. I have seen YouTube videos of the single and dual versions and the single version's scrolling feature looks perfect.

I wish I had the second gauge. Trans temp & coolant temp on one A/F & STKR on the other.

Yes it does
