So i put together a video going over, in detail, how we installed and wired the Autometer oil pressure and transmission temperature gauges in our '90 one-ton Bronco Project: Ive been running around trying to get the '90 done, and havent posted any updates. So here's where we're at: I couldnt get the brakes to bleed, ended up having to replace the RABS module because it was seized  I had a code for EVP below minimum voltage   Which turned out to be a defective EGR- the nipple for the EVP to seat against wasnt in the EGR  New one installed, problem solved!  I redid the battery cables, so i could add an anderson plug for the remote-mount winch:   and then i finished off the interior, by adding a pair of Autometer gauges; oil pressure and trans temp   Built a standalone harness for the gauges that has one plug for power/illumination, and a second plug that goes to both sensors   Back when i was putting the accessory drive together i installed the Autometer oil pressure sensor on a Tee with the OEM sensor in the factory port  I thought i had a pic of the trans temp sensor, but apparently not. Its in the test port for the E4OD. Pic of it installed on the 96:  While i was in the interior, i pulled the cluster out so we could go full led:  ..and done!  So I figured since I have money & time invested in the engine & trans, I might as well get some gauges to monitor them. Enter a set of Autometer's GS gauges:  Trans temp probe in the usual location; the test port  Built a simple manifold to allow me to use both the stock pressure sender & the autometer oil pressure sender  Working on the wiring harness. Since the GS series are LED, I have a resistor in-line to dim them a bit, so they match the dash brightness  some wires poking out of the a-pillar...  ...and gauges done!  Looks like the motor is ~45 PSI cold, and never drops below 20 PSI even when hot @ idle. Haven't seen trans temps above 140º yet, altho I haven't driven it much since I finished em.
