This will work in an 00' NBS Tahoe?
Yes it will. If this came out of a 2002 Esky, it will work in a 00, 01, or 02. It will NOT work in a 03-06No, I don't believe so, but I could be wrong
how many milesYes it will. If this came out of a 2002 Esky, it will work in a 00, 01, or 02. It will NOT work in a 03-06
NBS tahoe doesn't have the trans temp gauge though. What's the workaround for this? Does it still monitor the trans temp but not have a gauge? Or does it not even have the sensor?
That's good to know! It would make sense that all of the wiring and sensors would be there for it already. Just dumb the gauge didn't make the final cut for the hoe...Actually, EVERYTHING is already in place for the transmission temperature sensor to work except for the actual gauge on the cluster. All wiring and sending units are in place in the transmission already. The truck actually still monitors the transmission fluid temperature, but you just can't see it unless you have an Escalade, Denali, or a 2500HD cluster. I'm not sure why only the HD trucks and the Eskys and Denali had the transmission temperature gauge. But the only thing that you would ever see is a warning light that the temp too high, unless you were to swap in a cluster with a transmission temperature gauge.
The Esky and Denali cluster is as simple as unplugging your cluster and plugging in a new one. No additional wiring or programming is needed for the transmission temperature gauge to work. The odometer however is a different story. The miles are stored in the cluster, so in order for your truck to read the correct mileage on the odometer you would need to get it reprogrammed.
One other option that I have seen people do is to get a "Scanguage" or something similar that plugs into the OBD2 port. Then use that to monitor the transmission temperature.
