Call he shop tomorrow & ask Devin about getting the kit Dan has on the race truck. He can explain it better too.

Ok thank you!

Also... I don't have the engine in front of me right now, where do you guys suggest tying into for oil pressure sensor?

I tied mine in right into the factory oil temperature sensor by the filter housing... Does that make sense?.. Here's a pic

Isn't it a pressure switch? No it's still there just putting an aftermarket one in to monitor pressure

Did the same thing for mine worked out good in that position.

Did you get to drive the truck yet Dan??

Be warned.T'd into the temperature port will throw the oil temps way off. Put it on the opposite pressure side.

GAH..... I'm not following :S

Tying into the factory oil temp sending unit location for your additional pressure sensor will result in the factory temperature sensor reading out lower than being in its stock location.

Between the "T" used to tie into the system dissipating heat, and moving the factory temp sensor away from the direct flow of oil inside the filter housing, temps will read out lower. 20 degrees lower give or take a few degrees.

Ok yeah!!! Haha I follow that part!! I just don't follow what you are suggesting I do instead! Haha

Dan · Apr 25, 2014

So I don't mess with the temp sensor!! Is there a different spot I can tie into?

Yes. Put it on the other side of the filter housing, where the pressure sensor is lol.

Yep 10-4 sorry I don't have the engine right in front of me or pictures too look at! But hey thanks for that!! That totally makes sense! Thanks morgan

Not to muck up your thread Dan but just thought I'd inform the guys that read this. I noticed my oil filter leaking the other day. Figured it was just a little bit loose. It was tight and I noticed the oil coming out of the seam of the filter at the top. I don't know if it's just a bad filter or what. Sad part is its only been on for 1000 miles. And it's the Motorcraft filter.

Your all good! I noticed that it'll leak a bit but you tighten it down real tight and then wipe up the excess oil once and it does good after that... I might be way out too lunch too! Haha

In other news: switches!

I swear this is the cleanest I've seen this truck! Haha

Kinda

And here's our variation of what kaleb so kindly shared!

Also there's a bov controller in there somewhere!

The switches are awesome. So awesome that I think I need a link to them. The exhaust coming out the side of the bed is awesome as well. First time I've seen this thread. Guess I'm gonna have to read back in here.
