    Another question - How are you guys adapting into the OBS fuel lines?

    Ok - It's alive! But I have a few issues - none of my factory gauges work, I'm thinking I need the factory 5.7 sending units - maybe I missed that?!

    The LS computer doesn't send the correct fuel level signal for your cluster. You need a fuel segment swap with your tables flipped. Your engine coolant temp signal will come from the original sensor that was in your 5.7- I suggest turning it down and using an M10x1.5 die so it will fit in the place where the head coolant plug is. Fuel pressure gauge can be hooked up to the LS pressure sensor. PRNDL will need splicing-i couldn't get mine working fully yet.

    Thanks - I'm sending my computer to Lextech for the fuel gauge issue - he also told me to run the 98 oil and water temp sensors to get the gauges to read.

    My LS oil sensor had the same plug(single wire) as my obs sensor. I just plugged it in and it reads fine. Dunno if I got lucky or something haha
    Good to hear your on track though!

    The oil sensor connector on my truck has 4 wires?
