60lb oil pressure gauge and LS Swap
 

Im doing a ls swap on my truck and I am concerned about the factory 60lb oil pressure gauge. How well does it hold up or do I need to just change it to the 80lb gauge? Thanks in advance, Carl

Its not going to leak or break its a very sturdy gauge. I had a 60 on my cummins for a lomg time, unless hot in the summer it was always pegged. No issues

I did see a clean 80 psi guage on the parts forum today....

Ok, thanks. I knew it would peg out but wasnt sure how it would hold up.

Yea, I seen it too. I should have just took the whole set up when I had the chance. lol

I bought it hoping the air pressure gauge was nicer than the one i have. They are about the same, nice but not outstanding.

I know it was used on dump trucks, but what other trucks did the air pressure gauge come in?

Why would you think an LS would have more psi than any other motor?? I have a stock gage with normal psi

I know they idle at about 40lbs when hot, and around 50 or maybe a little more cold. but when you are wide open throttle i have seen 70 to 80lbs and with a 60lb gauge i didnt know if it would hold up.

Isn’t the oil relief valve set 60 PSI

I also have a high volume pump. Not sure about the relief valve.
