Oil Pressure Guage
 
I am ordering some new guages and I have an important question.

I want to install a new Motor Oil Pressure Guage in my 1998.5 Dodge Cummins, but I also want continue the use of the factory guage. How and where would I attach the new guage into the oil pressure system? Thanks, Kerley

theres a secondary oil feed on the top of ur oil filter housing thats 1/8 thread thats what i hooked mine up to but youll have to run tubing from the oil feed to ur sending unit because heater lines run to close to the feed I'll see if i can find a pic of how i did mine

That copper tubing will eventually break from the vibration.

Heres my setup. I run the oil right into the cab through braided SS 1/4" line:

Nice pictures. You are lucky to have rain. We are so dry here in Central Alabama that I have to sell some cows for lack of grass. What brand of Oil Pressure guage did you install. I see in your photo that the sending unit has only one wire to the guage, Looks like an easy install. Thanks Kerley
