Any DIY Oil Pres and Tranny Temp gauge installation writeup?

I'm interested in popping in a pair of oil pressure and tranny temp gauges on my '99 Passport. I know this isn't a big deal, but I was wondering if anyone has happened to write up their experience with doing this somewhere.

I fear idiot lamps and know that if I ever see one of those come on, my car is toast. I think such a cheap upgrade is worth it for some piece of mind. :)

Talk about resurrecting a dead thread, I'm going to ask for clarification on a post that's seven years old, HA!

Being a control and information freak, I really want to get just about every gauge known to man installed on this Trooper, but will definitely do:

Transmission temp, oil pressure, voltage, and coolant temp (current gauge works but I want numbers)

Coolant temp will probably just be a direct replacement for the stock sender since I don't really need two, voltage is easy also. My question to Tad is, back in 2003 when you were talking about splicing a barbed tee into a rubber transmission "Pressure line," were you talking about the flexible lines running up to the trans cooler?

As for the oil pressure gauge - I prefer an electric vs mechanical - I see references to using a tap on the oil filter mount(?) can someone drop some knowledge on me about where/how to accomplish this?
