5.3 Tick/Knock?

Not the main harness. Usually I find an empty spot on the firewall (just double check it is truly empty and out of the way), make the smallest hole and fill it with a grommet. I have a grommet assortment I bought off Amazon.

If your main harness or other harness Ingress points have room to feed the conduit, use them by all means.

Where did you put the mechanical gauge in the truck? Just trying to figure out the best mounting spot.

I don't have one in these newer trucks. On my old trucks I mount them somewhere under the dash... pic below shows oil and coolant temp gauges.

Thank you!

Unfortunately the gmt800 dashes don’t have a flat edge on the bottom of the dash and have the center console in the way, did still find a good mounting spot.

I’m going to put it on the front removable panel(the one below the steering wheel you’d take off to service the steering column area). Should fit nicely there and I can probably hide the copper line and wiring for the light pretty easily.

For installing mechanical oil pressure gauge think this would fit? So it’s a tee that I’d screw in where the stock sending unit goes, with a port for a mechanical gauge, then up top there’s threads for the stock sender.

I’m scared with the stock sender attached up top it’ll hit the intake and be too tall.

I have installed a half-dozen of these gauges. I don't bother with the wiring for the light. How often do you need nighttime gauge visibility?

That is true. Probably won’t bother with it now that I’m thinking about it
