MaxTow Transmission Gauge Plastic Design

Description

Product Overview

The MaxTow Transmission Temperature Gauge is engineered to give drivers real‑time insight into the temperature of the fluid circulating through their transmission. Constructed from high‑impact plastic and reinforced rubber components, the gauge resists vibration, heat, and the harsh environments typical of commercial trucking. It features a 2‑1/16″ (52 mm) black dial with a clear lens, an illuminated red needle, and a digital readout that together cover a temperature range of 80°F to 260°F. The included 1/8‑27 NPT temperature sensor plugs directly into the transmission fluid line, while a 9‑foot sensor harness and 5‑foot power harness provide flexible installation options. The gauge also offers three daytime and three nighttime dimming modes, ensuring optimal visibility under any lighting condition.

Usage

Designed for long‑haul trucks, off‑road rigs, and performance vehicles, this gauge excels in any scenario where transmission heat management is critical. Whether you are hauling heavy loads across mountainous terrain, navigating stop‑and‑go city traffic, or pushing a performance vehicle on a track, the MaxTow gauge delivers precise temperature data to help you adjust gear shifts, cooling strategies, and driving style. The dual analog‑digital display lets you quickly glance at the needle for an at‑a‑glance reading, while the digital panel provides exact temperature values for fine‑tuned adjustments.
