oil pressure suddenly drops
i have a 2000 durango w/ the 4.7. when i first start driving it while its cold, the oil pressure gauge will suddenly drop to zero for a second, and then the check gauges light comes on. it only does this for a breif moment, and then everything goes right back to normal. i dont hear any strange noises and there is not a lack of power. it will do this two or three times until it is warmed up. any ideas? -thanks

No the sending unit is way easier to replace than you think. In fact its much like replacing an O2 sensor. The sending unit is located right by the oil filter, actually between the filter and the engine block.
