Thumbs down Check Guages Dash notice

Recently the "check gauges" light comes on when I start the truck...the oil pressure gauge reads Zero. If I turn it off and restart the gauge reads OK

This is now a frequent problem that used to occur about once a year

03 4.7 Dakota 204000 kms

Any suggestions?

Agreed. I had the same problem. Get the sensor from Dodge. Lots of the replacements are JUNK!
