    hahaha i gotcha. i havent taken the truck out yet. been messing with this damn pressure gauge. while i was checking it out i noticed the OEM pressure switch was broken, didnt fix the pressure gauge problem though. ive got a new sender ive gotta hook up.

    put a new pressure switch in but it probably going to break again. its sitting right on top of the front diff. i have no clue how josh got his oem pressure switch, a T fitting and the aftermarket sender unit under there. i have hardly any room to move under there.

    now that i think of it, could splice into the factory pressure switch wiring and have that drive the aftermarket gauge? what do yall think.

    yea i tried to do that. my front differential sits alot higher than yours. ill snag a pic real quick and show you.


    im taking the damn thing off and just putting the stock switch in its original place lol **** this ****. its causing nothing but problems. anyone want an oil pressure gauge? $20 shipped.

    you either did it after the lift or the 7700 is set up differently.

    this is sitting under the truck looking forward. the fitting that is on there is shorter than the oil pressure sender and its not as wide. the fittings in the picture are almost touching the differential.
