Dakota Digital Universal 0-100 PSI Oil & Air Pressure Sender Unit
High-Accuracy Electronic Transducer for Digital Gauges & Air Ride Suspension Systems
Ensure pinpoint measurement accuracy and dependable electronic signal transmission with the Dakota Digital Oil and Air Pressure Sender. Specifically engineered to interface with Dakota Digital instrumentation and control modules, this solid-state pressure sender converts fluid or pneumatic pressure (0 to 100 PSI) into a precise electrical resistance value read instantly by your digital display.
Whether replacing a worn sensor in a classic car dash setup, plumbing an engine oil galley port, or monitoring pneumatic tank/bag pressures on a custom air ride suspension system, this industrial-grade sender delivers linear accuracy without the risks associated with mechanical capillary tubes. Built with rugged brass threading and weather-sealed internal diaphragms, it withstands severe engine heat, vibration, and road grime.

Design Highlights & Solid-State Reliability
### Dual-Purpose Oil & Pneumatic Versatility
Unlike standard automotive oil senders that can fail when exposed to dry compressed air, the Dakota Digital pressure transducer features a dual-rated internal diaphragm assembly. It functions with complete accuracy whether measuring engine motor oil pressures or monitoring compressed air lines in pneumatic air ride suspension systems.
### Leak-Free Solid-State Construction
Using an electronic pressure sender keeps high-pressure motor oil completely outside your vehicle cab or motorcycle fairing. The solid-state sensor sends a low-voltage electrical signal to the dash display, eliminating oil leaks inside passenger compartments or cockpit dash assemblies.
Universal & Vehicle Fitment Guide
The Dakota Digital Oil and Air Pressure Sender features a universal standard 1/8″ NPT male thread fitting compatible across a wide spectrum of automotive and motorcycle applications:
### Compatible Application Highlights
- Harley-Davidson & Custom V-Twin Motorcycles: Threads directly into 1/8″ NPT oil pump gallery ports, rocker box adapters, and air ride suspension manifolds
- American Muscle Cars & Hot Rods: Fits standard GM, Ford, and Chrysler engine block oil pressure ports (1/8″ NPT)
- Air Ride & Pneumatic Suspension Systems: Compatible with digital air gauge controllers monitoring tank, front, or rear bag pressures up to 100 PSI
Fitment Note: Designed specifically for Dakota Digital 0-100 PSI gauges. For metric oil gallery ports (such as M10x1.0 or M12x1.5 found on European or Japanese engines), standard NPT-to-metric thread adapters are available separately.
Step-by-Step DIY Installation Overview
Installing or replacing a Dakota Digital pressure sender unit is a straightforward procedure taking approximately 15 to 30 minutes.
### Required Tools
- Open-End Wrench Set
- Teflon Pipe Thread Sealant Paste or Teflon Tape
- Wire Crimp Tool / Terminal Connectors
### Step 1: Thread Preparation
Inspect the 1/8″ NPT threads on the sender unit. Apply 2 to 3 turns of Teflon tape or a small amount of thread sealant paste to the male threads, keeping the first leading thread clean to ensure a good electrical ground connection if grounded through the body.
### Step 2: Mechanical Installation
Thread the sender hand-tight into the engine block oil port, sandwich adapter, or air manifold block. Tighten with a wrench until snug and leak-free. Do not over-torque or apply pressure to the electrical terminal studs.
### Step 3: Wiring & Gauge Testing
Attach the signal wire leading from your Dakota Digital gauge to the designated terminal on the sender. Reconnect power, start the engine or pressurize the air tank, and check for proper pressure readings on your display and zero leaks around the thread base.
Frequently Asked Questions
### Will this sender work with analog or non-Dakota Digital gauges?
This sender is factory-calibrated to match the specific resistance curves of Dakota Digital 0-100 PSI gauges and control modules. While it may match certain standard aftermarket resistance ranges, using it with Dakota Digital instrumentation ensures 100% calibration accuracy.
### Do I need to ground the sender separately?
Most 1/8″ NPT senders ground through the metal engine block or manifold chassis threads. If mounting the sender into a isolated rubber hose or plastic block, a dedicated ground wire must be attached to the sender body ground terminal.
