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. :)

Just a heads up to anyone putting an aftermarket gauge in their truck. I went to put an aftermarket mechanical oil pressure gauge in my 95 Rodeo 4x4 today and hit a snag. In hindsight, I should have thought of it ahead of time.

I bought a regular old mech gauge and when I went to put it in, the fitting wouldn't screw in when the old sender was because.......the truck is metric. Most el-cheapo aftermarket gauges come with a 1/8 NPT fitting to screw in the truck. I had to order an adapter from NAPA.

I will post the part # of the adapter and try to take some pics when I actually install it.
