I have an 03 Ram 4.7. I am looking to install a coolant temp gauge, oil pressure gauge, and oil pressure gauge. Does anyone have any info/instructions on how and what other parts are needed to complete these installations?

 

The coolant temp you will need to tap on of the wires on the coolant temp sensor. Im sure you mistyped it but you say you have two oil press gauges.

Either way, how you connect those depend on what type of gauge it is, electrical or mechanical.

 

I am planning on using the autometer ultralite II gauge.

 

im on my mobile so that still doesnt help.

If its electrical then you tap into the electrical wiring on the sensor which is right above the oil filter. If its mechanical then you need to add a fitting to screw your gauge piece into.

You read your instructions with the gauges right?

What part are you confused on? Where they install or how?

 

I don't have them yet. Still deployed. But the gauges I am planning to install are electrical for the oil pressure and temperature.

 

Then all you likely will have are three wires for each. One for ground, one for 12v for the backlight and the last to tap the sensor wire with.

Since you dont have them, check the manufactures site for instructions but that should be how they go. The oil press sensor is a two wire sensor and above the oil filter. The water temp sensor is also two wires and located either in the block or on the stat housing.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Wouldn't it be better/more accurate to use an autometer electric watertemp sensor? When I added gauges to my turbo rx7 I added an electric water temp sensor to bypass the crappy stock sensor.

 

The coolant temp sensor is electrical...
