Transmission temp and oil pressure sensor

[Hunner]

No, sorry to say it has been way too hot to mess with.

I want to get it done but may have to leave it sit overnight at the shop to cool down. With temps over 100 and heat indices at 125 nobody really wants to handle a hot engine to get this done.

I will get to it but like everything else on my list has sort of been on hold because of the heat.

No worries, I am in no rush to get this done, just want to make sure i get it done right.

I hear you. I've had some free time and a handful of little projects to get done but have had zero motivation to get outside and started. And August has just started.

Global warming?

I picked up the MaxTow oil pressure gauge for my H3 after seeing them on here. I love it. Still need to wire up the dimming function, but I've been very pleased with the quality of those gauges. I also really like that they are green LEDs, I can't stand blue for readouts because they refract weirdly with my glasses and even my contacts.

digging this thread up again, Hunner, didn't know if you had any updates.

I was chatting with the guys at autometer about the oil pressure gauges.

He said that (for the 5.3 atleast) if you unplug the dummy light from the block, it won't cause the dash to light up constantly telling you your oil is low.

He stated the threads in the block are M16 X 1.5 and to use this 1/8 NPT adapter

( this also seems to line up with some reading that i have done on LS forums about the fittings on other blocks.)

Also said the sender they include with their gauge should have enough clearance to fit back there, even with the stock manifold.

Any one have any thoughts on this/experience, seems like it should be relatively easy,
-screw in the adapter
-screw in the sender
-hookup the gauge
-presto you have an oil pressure reading

That's my Hummer and the Gauge is reading the temp coming out of the radiator as the scan gauge is reading before in goes into the radiator. I also just bought a oil and transmission Temp MaxTow gauge and going to install over the weekend. Ill take pic of the installation. Oh and and in the pic their is an oil pressure gauge already installed.
