BTW, if you were able to tap your O2 sensor without crawling under the truck or without a jack my hat's off to you. I ended up having to jack the truck up and crawl under it to get to the sensor. Granted if I wasn't a big guy I could have probably squeezed underneath without the jack. But between my gut and the creeper, it needed the jack/stands

I am al ittle guy. I did have to crawl unter the truck, but with no creeper. I used a unused relay termanal in the box under the hood for my power. I don't like tapping into wires on these new trucks. I like to find a unused source. If you have any question where I pluged into for power I can go take a pic. but I don't know where you could just tap into under the dash.

FWIW, I wasn't talking about tapping just a switched 12v wire under the dash. I was actually referring to the box on the side of the dash, with the fuse panel in it.

Thanks for all the help on this. Guage is in and seems to be working great....for what it's doing. It does seem to read a little accurately though, cause I know the truck has been going really rich at WOT, and the guage jumps to about the middle ways of the rich side when I floor the truck.
