Oil pressure effect computer?
just wondering if the stock oil pressure sender sends anything to the computer? i want to put on an aftermarket mechanical gauge where the stock sender is and i don't really want to use a "T" fitting.. thanks!

Dont know about a Ranger but Fseries wiring in 95 book just goes to gauge. Some electric fuel pump systems have used oil pressure to keep fuel pump running in case of accident/rollover - F series uses inertia switch on firewall.

If you just have an oil pressure switch from the factory, you can ground the wire and be fine. You could also get a tee fitting and run both the stock switch and the mechanical gauge if there is room, that way, you still have the warning light should oil pressure drop below a certain amount.
