60lb oil pressure gauge and LS Swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Im doing a ls swap on my truck and I am concerned about the factory 60lb oil pressure gauge. How well does it hold up or do I need to just change it to the 80lb gauge? Thanks in advance, Carl

Its not going to leak or break its a very sturdy gauge. I had a 60 on my cummins for a lomg time, unless hot in the summer it was always pegged. No issues

I did see a clean 80 psi guage on the parts forum today....

I bought it hoping the air pressure gauge was nicer than the one i have. They are about the same, nice but not outstanding.

I know it was used on dump trucks, but what other trucks did the air pressure gauge come in?

Why would you think an LS would have more psi than any other motor?? I have a stock gage with normal psi

Ok, thanks. I knew it would peg out but wasnt sure how it would hold up.

I also have a high volume pump. Not sure about the relief valve.
