Finally installed my oil & coolant gauges.







I'm getting 22psi at hot idle with Motorcraft full synthetic 5w40 diesel oil, and a brand new oil pump.

Also:

 

Awesome. I will be doing the same thing next month. Might add the voltage gauge too.

 

purrty, what was involved, i'd like to do the same?

 

Nice job. 2 best and most important gauges you could have picked.

 

Everything you need comes in the above links, except for 3 "add a circuit" fused adapters, that way you don't need to splice anything. I would also get some wiring loom to make it look factory.

 

this is such a cool project. Where does the oil pressure sensor connect?

 

you can tee off your original sending unit or use a sandwich adapter between the filter and the block

 

There's a port right next to the stock oil pressure switch port on the timing cover. You'll need an adapter to make it work, M20 to ⅛ NPT.

 

Saw this on reddit too, looks great man. Similar temp gauge setup to mine. I also just noticed, your coolant isn't green. It's red. What kind of coolant are you running?

 

I had originally wanted to go with the tee, however you need a low-rise tee in the correct size (m20) which was hard to find. I don't like the sandwich adapters in principle, preferring to keep a stock look, and also wanted to prevent my filter from sticking out any further, since I use the larger filters and it sticks out enough already.
