Oil Pressure Gauge Install ???

Anyone done one on a 2k2 or 2k3??? I'm looking into doing one and I just want to know if someone found a port to install the sender or if you can somehow rig one up with the stock sender. Let me know.

thes best thing to do is get an adapter that goes in between the block and oil filter, it sandwiches in there so u dont have to drill, they normally have several ports so u could hook up temp as well later on if u wanted.

Doesn't that affect your filter?? It would seem that you wouldn't have enough "engagement" between the filter and the block.

no it wouldnt, but its also not the best thing to do.

get a tee with the correct thread, and tee the sending unit in WITH the factory sender. that way you still have your idiot light and anything that goes along with it.
