So do you have to pop the Silver cap off....... the reason I say this is because my silver cap on the passenger side is not threaded......

Oh and after I relieve the pressure do you have to do anything after the sending unit is installed?????

If I was to put the sending unit in and not hook it up to the guage for lets say a week... Would that be ok??

is the sending unit for a electrical gauge?

it shouldn't be that hard to find the schrader valve, unscrew the cap off your valve stem on your rim, thats the same type of thing your looking for on the manifold fuel rail.

It looks just like a valve on a tire. It's on the passenger side. It's located on the fuel rail crossover tube on the passenger side and it points towards the front of the truck. It might be hidden under the intake manifold cover. Here's a pic

Sorry for the confusion, guys. Whyen I mentioned about taking the schrader valve out, I was thinking about the Radix's valve's install, you can just remove it. Black Yukon posted a good picture of the factory valve, and you can't remove it. The only way you can do it is to adapt up the way he did. You could run a braided line to a remote locarion, like I'm going to do on my Radix install. I've tried every combination of fittings, and adapters, and just didn't like the way any of them looked. Black Yukon has about the simplest way to do it on a factory manifold.

I told him it was on the drivers side, like a Radix set-up, so I did the same thing
