Overall a nice looking good quality gauge.
Includes everything you need to install including a 1/8 NPT threaded sender, wiring, and a 1/8 NPT spacer which can be used to weld onto a transmission fluid pan if desired. Per the detailed Banks instructions, I installed it easily in a pressure test port on a Dodge 47RE transmission. However, this location results in low temperature readings until the transmission gets hot. During the next fluid change Ill likely weld the threaded boss to the fluid pan and move the sender there for more accurate readings.
Pro: I especially like the color coded range markings on the face. At a glance theres no guesswork as to whats an acceptable temp reading.
One slight con: This gauge is significantly *brighter* than two other Banks gauges I bought at the same time (an EGT and a boost gauge). It seems the internal design of this gauge is somehow different so and lets more light through. Painting the bulb fixed the problem (not an uncommon practice with gauges from what Ive read on the net).

The banks and autometer gauges look great in my truck, and work great. Thanks for being such a great company to deal with.
