Can someone please help me with whats the best low pressure oil gauge out there and where to install the gauge to read the pressure from? I am really tired of the dancing gauge in the dash and want an actual reading! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Have you tried cleaning the connection to the oil sensor or replacing the sensor

 

I'm not really intrested in Dixon the dash one at all bec it's useless, I want one to actually read real time pressure. So I don't really want to waste time messing with the dash gauge

 

Then get a electric autometer and put it the the OEM location on the top of the hpop res

 

So do I put it in the same port as the dash one? How should I hook the wires up? And will a gauge that goes up to 100 psi work?

 

Yes.

You won't use the factory wires. You'll run new ones

0-100 will be plenty

 

Also, what should I be looking for in terms of pressures? Like idling, highway, OP temps?

And thanks for the help

 

Up to tem you could see as low as 7-10 at idle and at driving speed 50-70 depending on pump condition

 

so if im getting something rather low while im driving, then it would most likely mean that i have a bad pump then if im understanding correctly?

 

GlowShift | White MaxTow Double Vision Oil Pressure Gauge with Electronic Pressure Sensor

This gauge says that the sensor can be screwed right into where the oem sending unit was so where exactly is the oem unit on the engine?

 

Just my .02 but I wouldn't use a glow shift

 

Why do u say not to use them, just curious?

 

They don't have the best record for reliability

 

Sunpro is good. They are a part of snap-on

 

X2^^^^^ I have them in my truck, and I question their accuracy.
