Default 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

Hey 24vcumminscowboy; I appreciate the help. When/if you send a picture please send one of your home made cattle head gate and headache rack, Thanks, Kerley

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
