Oil cooler
On the 2005 Superduty V-10 Iam going to install the oil temp gauge,
should I install the sender where the factory oil pressure sender is, I was going to install a T fitting there, or should I install it using a T-fitting going to the engine oil cooler?
The engine oil cooler is the smaller cooler behind the front bumper right?
What do you think?

Isn't the oil cooler like the pre-05 V10's, where coolant is routed to the oil filter adapter, and engine oil is NOT routed to a seperate cooler up front?
Fred? Cap? Wrench? SOMEONE with an '05 ???

Yes the oil pan would be nice, but not easily feasible! I did read about some of the plugs/ports on the front of the engine

But A picture would help!
