Ok I'm buying these 2 gauges, both autometer mechanical. They come with the sending units and I need to put them in.

1)For the oil pressure, where is the best place to put this? Can I get some fittings and T this off where the factory oil pressure switch is? Anyone done this, or is there another area where it's easier to do?

2)Trans temp, no idea. Where do I install this sensor?

Thanks.

I was gonna do a T off the factory line but where it's at is really a pain. You're better off just buying a pancake adapter to go where your oil filter is.

For the trans temp, there's a small 1/8" pipe plug in front of the shifter near the bell housing on the drivers side. Your sender goes there.

I can tell you the ONLY (decent) way to install your Oil Pressure gauge is to get a GlowShift sandwich adapter. I installed a "T" fitting and hooked up my nice Oil Pressure gauge - then crawled under my truck and cleaned up the mess / tightened all fittings about five times, (until I was afraid I would stripp the threads) - and the damn thing still leaked. Finally I ordered an adapter from Amazon - that didn't FIT!!!!

Contact GlowShift online - they were very helpful and shipped right away. It solved the problem beautifully. Get the 22mm

As for Trans temp --- ????. The ECU reports Transmission Temperature, and I read that with a custom gauge on Torque Pro. I have no idea where would be the best place to get that from Perhaps one could "T" into the coolant lines at the Trans.... ????

Here is where your trans temp sensor goes.
