I'm installing a triple gauge pod in my 94 dually. I'm gonna do
Volts oil pressure and temp. Any hints on where to tap in for the
Senders thanks.

The temp guage is electrical and the oil pressure guage is mechanical. I am not sure where i can tap into the engine for these. thanks

Themp will hook up on the driver side head on the side. There will be a dark green wire to tap.

Mech oil pressure will hook up by the dist.

I will add pic in a min.

I swapped out the mechanical oil guage for a electric one. I tried to tap off that green wire to run both the factory guage and the pod guage. When I do this both will not operate..

They both work on two deferent ohms. You would have to add a other sending unit somewhere . The elec oil perssure is a tan wire by the dist. It will be the same one or the other

I have a '93 4.3l and the oil pressure wire runs down to sensor on the passengers side. I have wanted to run a mechanical gauge but the sensor wire runs between the block and oil filter. Really tight spot.

Ok I got the oil gauge done. I put a T and added the sending unit. I am stumped with the Temp. Can I put a T for that as well or will it effect how the gauge operates.. There is no where to Tap into. There is a water sending unit on each side of the motor and one in the front by the thermostat. Any suggestions thanks.,..

Is it possible to run 2 gauges off 1 temp sending unit?

No, cause it would change the ohms reading if you ran two gauges off one sending unit.. You have to pick one or the other or add another sending unit.

Can I add a brass T and put both sending
Units together?

Yes, that would look kinda of cheesy.

jay55jay · 06-29-2011, 07:12 PM

I found a if in the intake in back of the carb problem solved
Nice and neat.
