LS swap lost oil pressure

They all break,steel cracks,nylon gets old,hard,and breaks,copper breaks,wires break or get chewed up by mice senders go bad so the only real bulletproof option is screw a mechanical gauge,directly into the galley port,you can't see it but nothing will break.Use whatever tubingbyou want,use common sense routing it,hard line put a coil in it for movement,when it breaks repair it. Same as everything else on these trucks when the brakes go out change them when the gas tank rusts out,change it. Do you see a pattern?

Yeah I been doing that my whole life it's just simple common sense.

Finally got off early enough today to tinker on the truck, installed a tachometer and a temporary mechanical gauge with nylon line. Truck at idle is around 32psi, 1500rpm is at 50psi. 2500 reaches 60. After a rev it usually hangs out around 35-40 at 450 idle. I ordered a new sensor to replace the old one. Whether it’s accurate or not it lets me know something but I don’t like the cheap mechanical gauge kits.

Copper breaks faster..I would use steel 1st then copper .Nylon I would never use on a street machine and like Ricko says put a loop or coil at the ends.

I just plugged it. I'll know when she blows. Problem solved.
