Mine reads transmission temperature. It also does the following;

Accel Pedal Position, Barometric Pressure, Battery Voltage, Boost, Calculated Load, Corrected Speed, Engine Coolant Temp, Engine Speed, Fuel Level, Fuel Rail Pressure, Gear, Gear with Reverse, Intake Air Temp, Manifold Air Pressure, Mileage Coach, MPG Instant, MPG Average, Output Shaft Speed, Throttle Position, Time 0-60, Time 1/4 mile, Trans Temp, Vehicle Speed
This is correct. 2006 was the first year for Dodge Ram that these parameters were available thru the OBD2 port. My 05 won't read squat in comparison. These parameters have been in use for years to control various vehicle functions and settings by the PCMs, ECMs and BCMs of modern vehicles and their increasingly sophisticated emission systems. It just took a very expensive factory or SnapOn/MacTool reader to access them. Heck, I can control a HVAC actuator to see why my defroster won't change modes or read other parameters in milliamps with the right scanner.
My 05 actually read all of that stuff as well. I have an Edge CTS that reads all that stuff, except the mpg.
