Default Anyone install both Oil Press & Oil Temp Gauges?

I have autometer gauges for both oil temp and oil pressure and want to install them both on my 99 Ram Air. Problem is the only place I know to install them is just above the oil filter. Drill and tap it then install the sending unit.

Problem is I want to install both. I like oil temp for warm up (especially springs) and roadcourse stuff. I think the oil pressure is the most important.

Really want to install both accurately.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

No problem. Just tap the piece above the filter and use regular plumbing fittings to make a T off of that fitting for both of your senders.... There is plenty of room down there

I thought about that, do you think it will affect the accuracy of either gauge??

I drilled my oil pan below the low oil sending unit to mount my oil temp gauge.
