I have a 00 F.150 XLT 5.4L. Just bought the autometer/pro comp oil press. gauge and wanted to know how to hook this thing up? does anyone know where i can get a scematic on how to hook up this gauge. And will i have to buy a new pressure sending unit. If so where can i get this. Please Help im excited to get this thing hooked up. Thanks, Mario

 

Is it electric or mechanical?
If electric, you need the matching electric sender and fittings to incorporate it in the oil filter port with the stock one left operating.
The gauge needs switched 12 volts and you need 12 volts off the dash lighting for gauge light at nite.
If mechanical gauge, you need to feed the end thru the fire wall at some point and get to the same location to use fittings that will accept the gauge line end fitting.

 

thanks for the reply. It is electrical. Do you know where I can find the parts I need to hook the gauge up?

 

There is a bit of a problem!
Pro-Comp gage, oil pressure, is liquid filled and is a mechanical gage according to the latest Summit catalog, page 105, Pro Comp gage column.
What part number do you have so we can identify what one you have.
Mech gage needs no sender.
The mech version is # ATM-5412+.
There is no electric version shown for the Pro Comp line.
Call Summit 1-800- 230-3030 and give your part number for any more info you need.
Or go to the AUTO METER Website and find your part number.
For some reason, they did not include the senders in the catalog or I overlooked them.
The Sport Comp and Sport Comp II both have electric and mech gages for oil pressure.
