you dont want to tap into a stock o2 sensor, have a new bung put in as close to the exhaust manifold as possible and get the o2 sensor that is made for the gauge you got. As for the tranny temp, I think your best bet is to have a bung welded into the transmission fluid pan. If you had a tranmission fluid cooler you could just tap into one of those lines, but dodge only put them on 03 up trucks.

Haven't hook one up to my ram but when I had my e350 I hooked up the trans gauge to the test port. Worked great and an easy install. Hope this helps.
