Setting up aftermarket oil pressure gauge
I have a 1990 7.3 diesel F250 with a 5 speed manual transmission. I was wondering if I want to put in an aftermarket oil pressure gauge do I need to change out the oil pressure sending unit in my truck or can I use the same sending unit and just connect the wires to the new gauge and still get an accurate oil pressure instead of just having a fancy idiot gauge like on the OEM dash. Only asking because from the pictures in the Chilton manual I have the damn sending unit is up on top of the backside of the engine near where the transmission is bolted on and the only way it seems to change it out would be to drop the transmission in order to be able to reach it.
If anyone could let me know anything about this that'd be cool.
Thanks
George
