Looks like an oil pressure sender to me, but then again I am not part of the 2.9L mafia so I can't speak with any level of certainty.

I'll concour to the oil pressure switch and stand off.

I add that if you decide you want to add an actual oil pressure gauge... that would be the place you add a T fitting.
