Trucks in the shop for winter work

When I installed the FS2500 oil bypass, I tapped into the oil filter housing where that plug is and put in a T. Off the T I put my little copper line for the oil pressure gauge. As far as where to put it if its a electricial gauge, I don't know. Then on the FS2500 oil bypass return line to the plug in the block I put another T there and put a probe in for oil temp. I don't think you need this if your running your scan gauge. I have my scan gauge set up to read oil temp & trans temp, then to ICP pressure & Duty %, then to PW & boost, then onto volts & IAT. Around and around we go, lately though, if I don't use it in over a week it loses its menory on the scan and you have to do it all over again, what a PITA.
Before the DIY oil cooler I added my LPOP would run warmed up about 45-50 psi. After the DIY oil cooler I'm now at 60-65psi. Idle is about 20psi.

In the foreground of this picture in front of the oil filter adapter for my oil cooler is the T I put my oil temp probe in. That gooped up line to the left of the T is the oil bypass return line to the block. I've bought brainded lines since that picture. In the background you can see my copper line for the oil pressure line and the T off the oil filter. The other line is the pressure line for the oil bypass system. That thing inbetween is what your suppose to use to get a oil sample out of. I got rid of that piece of shi!

Oh, and that cooper line in the back there for the oil pressure gauge broke on me once pulling that 26K trailer down to AZ when we moved our house hold stuff. Oil poured out of there putting me on the side of the road. I still don't trust that but don't know how to connect a electrical oil pressure gauge up?

I got that 42 pin connector unhooked after work today. Geez, couldn't be much easier. Made me feel kinda stupid I didn't see or feel that bolt. I messed with that thing for 15 minutes at least!
Glenn, if you worry about that mechanical oil pressure gauge and want to use it, make a braided stainless line to use. I had to put them on our race cars as the plastic doesn't pass inspection. You won't have any problems with one of those lines.
