A few newbie questions
Hello,
I just purchased a 4.8 00 K1500 ext cab sportside and I have few questions about somethings. I'm sure you guys will help. I want to install a trans cooler and trans temp gauge. I was reading that I could get an escalade gauge set that already has the trans gauge in it but I don't need all of that. I was hoping to just get one that mounts to the A post. Is there already a spot on the trans to screw in the temp sender unit ? 2 more questions, I have the tow package with the 7 blade round trailer wiring connector. I assume there must be a brake controller connector someplace in the cab if it came with the 7 blade connector, any idea where it lives ? Last question, it's not a big deal but the light behind the AC button is out. I took the unit apart hoping to find plugin lamps but instead found small soldered lamps directly on the circuit board. Any idea where to buy these little guys ?

You can get a regular cluster with the temp gauge for around $200 shipped: eBay auction
Or you can buy an autometer gauge from Summit Racing for around $60, but you will have to hook it up. You will need a pod to hold it as well. A single pod costs about $30. I can't answer your second question. There are a couple of threads that deal with changing the lights out with LEDs. Here is one of the threads. I imagine that you can pick up the lights at radioshack, or some other variant.

The LED idea is great, I'll look into getting a few of them and doing the swap. I know the trans has a built-in temp gauge but does it have a location for a screw in temp sender for an autometer type gauge ?

Re: A few newbie questions
The Pics aren't the greatest but, checkout the pics in my Gallery it shows the control unit apart and where I put the LEDs in. It's been over a year since I did that and the LEDs are still burning bright Blue...
