I ran a length of "trailer wire" from front to rear.  Make sure you get
some wire loom to protect the wires under the van.

Volt gauge - usually run off of the ignition
Oil Temp - one wire to engine
Oil Pressure - "may" be an existing wire upfront, but this sender also
requires only one wire.

Other things that the wires can be used for

- Rear Fog
- Aux Reverse Light (12ga wire)
- Winch control
