You aren't going to find a temp wire. The computer controls the temp gauge in the 03 truck. You might need to adapt the sending unit from your original engine and make it work.
The oil wire is a tan wire that goes from the sending unit in the back of the engine to, I believe, one of the connectors by the 03 truck ECM. You'll have to trace it or check it with a volt meter probbaly.
The tach wire comes out of the 03 ECM, Red connector Pin 10, white wire.

If you don't have the ECM, than you will never start the engine.

ECM=PCM, same thing.
I believe there is a place just above the oil filter that people are using for an additional port for an oil sending unit.
