You could get an Esky, Denali or 2500 cluster with the factory trans gauge. I think up to 04 1/2 it's pnp. I used an 04 Esky cluster in my 03 Hoe and it works great.

But he has a NV4500 trans is what he’s saying so he needs to add a sensor in it plus wire it to the bcm or gauge. That part is not PNP.

That may still be the easiest and cheapest way to do it. A sensor is cheap and so are the coolers with the ports, wiring it up can't be to bad. Did the regular auto trucks have a sensor in the tranny to read trans temp? If there's wiring down there I might be able to splice right into that.
Guess I'll start looking for clusters in the classifieds. I don't really have a desire for a bling bling cluster anyway. Doesn't match the truck.

I'm not really sure about the wiring. I think up til 04 it'll work, even if yours didn't originally come with one--but I forgot you have a stick, not an auto so Idk if it'll work for you.

Yeah I will have some wiring to figure out for sure. My buddy with the stick denali has trans temp on his cluster but it doesn't work. Been trying to get him interested in doing it since he doesn't have to fork out money for a cluster. I probably even have a oil temp sensor in a parts bin somewhere. Maybe when we get bored of working on stuff because it's all so reliable we will tackle that
.I really really want cruise control to work need to dig into that. His Denalis cruise control works so I need to compare wires.
All the SUV’s have a sensor in the trans and wiring otherwise we wouldn’t be able to pnp a cluster with the trans gauge in.

Buy like you said--he has a stick now.
He asked if the wiring might be there so all he would need to do is add a sensor into his trans and splice into the wiring. Come on Tony, keep up!
