Ok, I am wanting to install a mechanical oil pressure gauge and I do not want to "T" off of the oil pressure sending unit at the back of the engine by the distributor.

I was thinking of installing a "T" in my oil cooler lines....I need to replace/repair them anyway so, I thought it would be a good place to tap into.

Thoughts...concerns??

Thanks

 

Should work. I would want to stay as high up on the engine as possible with everything to limit the exposure to potential damage, but it all depends on what kind of gauge you are going to be using and if you are going to be remote mounting it (i.e. running a tube into the cabin or somewhere underhood where you can easily see it).

 

I was thinking of running it up to a gauge pod on my "A" pillar.....Yes, No??

I know some are afraid of oil leaks inside of the truck but, that is the way it used to be done for years...so, I am not worried.

I would rather have the mechanical vs. elec....Oh, and I was also thinking of installing a vacuum gauge.....just to finish filling up the gauge pod....plus it would help with identifying a problem with the engine later on down the road.
