Gauge install location

I want to install an eng. oil temp and fuel press. gauge. I was told there is a oil temp sender already on the truck? If so, where is it located and can I install a gauge there? Where is the best place to install a electric fuel press. gauge?

Fuel Pressure gauge goes to Fuel Pressure test port on the underhood fuel filter. You take out the 6MM hex plug, and screw an adaptor hose into this. You mount your sender on the end of the hose next to the drivers side battery area. Make sure you have a good ground for your sender.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

The fuel pressure gauge is, in my opinion, probably the most important gauge to have on the 6.0l. EGT guage is too.

If the factory oil temp sender is unplugged the truck goes into limp mode.
