You don't have to yell! You should be able to hook up a gauge in parallel to the current sensor. Tie your gauge into the output signal of the sensor. Find a wire that is hot in the run position and connect the ground to a ground lug under the dash. It shouldn't matter that much what wire, just so long as you make sure you are connecting in parallel with whatever other device the power is intended for. The way the harnesses are made you may already have a connector under the dash intended for a gauge in a different model. Check your wiring diagrams.
Driver side from under the truck. right next to the tranny bell housing. even with he top of the tranny dust cover. There is a square plug. Your sender will fit right in there. Watchout though. Oil will flow right out on you wen U remove it. Wait till engine is cool. Hot oil no fun

Anyone know of a way to turn the idiot gauge to a real gauge?
Nope. It's driven from the PCM. I guess you could try re-wiring it to a real sensor -- not sure if that would work or not. Plus, who knows what the graduations would be and where.
