Trying to figure out what pressure gauge to buy.
Do I need 100 PSI, or is 80, or 50 sufficient?

 

[bustedknuckles]

Picked up an oil pressure gauge from NAPA.
It goes to 100 PSI.

Where can I connect it?
Is there a port that is easily accessible?

Is there a test port on the oil filter canister?

You have to make a T off of the low oil psi sender or get a billet cap and drill and tap it like most of us have. The oil psi will go well over 100psi when cold.

Thanks Patrick!

Do you know where the oil sending unit is located on 2006's?

I put mine in the oil bypass filter I still may put one in cab

Thanks, Patrick,

I went with the billet oil filter cap.
I guess I will deal with this every time I change the oil.
I was hoping to avoid this.

Take a look at the BPD oil cooler write up by Novimustang in the aftermarket forum. He fabbed up a nice T-adapter off the oil pressure port.

JW350,

I looked in the 6.0 aftermarket forum and also the general aftermarket forum....can't find any posts by Novimustang.
What forum exactly and what is the subject of the post?
