Truck won"t shut off ?

Do you know if I can just "T" into the braided flex line going to the back of the alternator for this mechanical gauge? or is there a better place?

That is what I did, just put a "T" there on the block and connected an oil gauge to it.

Wonderful! Next time I go to town (100 km away) I will get one and finish off the project....ie get off my bike and back in my truck!.

Thanks so much

I would suggest that you take the fitting that goes into the block with you, it is a unique thread slope, hard to find it, it's a real pain actually.
This is how I did mine with the 720 console gauge cluster(electric type).

My other truck used a mechanical gauge and the hose was carefully routed to keep it away from heat and such.

You can send me your photos, I will post them, but you should try to learn to post them yourself, I will message you my email to send the photos to.
