Damn yea I'm thinking im gonna put some lucas back in there after she burns some more oil down, when I replaced my rear seal behind the drum I just used some synthetic oil and i didn't notice a difference. BTW alterboy not to change subject but your dashboard is really nice and bright, did you change the bulbs behind there because mine is to dull

No. Regular bulbs although i do have to tap the dash from time to time so they come on.
As for the oil... it always ran high before I changed the oil (castrol syntech 30w)but after it got changed it waseven higher with mopar oil. oh by the way i forgot to mention the picture was taken at 80 mph at2200rpm. I usually run between 75 and 80 on the highways. But even at idle im still above the 3/4 mark. My oil is changed every 3-6k miles and is still as clear as the day it was put it.

Awesome lights, good call on thinking about doing the LED setup, i was thinking about doing that myself.
Hmmm around idle thats still high, mines always at 1/4, maybe the pressure gauge might be going? You could take off the oil cap while its running, if theres a lot of air poofing out that will show you if you have blow by and could possibly interfear with the pressure or the pressure gauge, but I'm not to sure about that, just taking a guess.

I am in the process though to change all my dash light to led. They offer brighter bulbs now and you can get about 13 or 14 different colors. I'm going with purple.

How much does that cost my teacher said something like that can be like $300-400

Also, remember LEDs have two settings: on, and off. They don't dim.
*edit*
I guess I'll "add" to the discussion. Hook up a direct-reading gauge to the block, and see what it reads. If its really high, I would +1 to the bypass valve being bad.

RE: Really High Oil Pressure
Here are 2day pictures. Onewith them on and one with them off. I will be putting Purple on the under the dash to light up the floor board and in my instrument cluster. Green will light up the bed.As for the dim I'm not too concerned about dimming. I drive with all the dashlights off in the dark to watch for deer in the country, I learned the HARD way, and they are all the way up in the city anyway. My stereo has three display dims and a dimmer off that allows me to listen to the stereo withthe in my displayoff. I also installed custom LED map lights in the sunroof bezel. The factory dome is too far back cause of the sunroof to get enough light in the front seats.Anybody know where I can find diamond plate floor mats? No not real diamond plate but I have seen them in a car I towed once and they looked neat. Im taking the carpet out and putting vinyl flooring in becausethe salt, gravel, twigs, oil, and grease have done a number on my carpet.and it looks really bad.

RE: Really High Oil Pressure
here are night time pictures. I also took one for the custom map lights I installed. They are hidden around front ofthe bezel. It blocks the glare from the lights pretty good and it really helps to see in the front of the truck.
