Today, I was driving and all was well, then I put it into park in front of my house and it told me to check gauges and the gauge said 0 for oil pressure but the engine still started etc....Not sure if it is just censor or oil pump, but no check engine light has come on or anything...

I would say if your engine is still running, then you have oil pressure

but the only way I know of for checking if you have oil pressure is to take off your valve cover, then start the truck. but there might be an easier way. and if your engine isnt making any noises, then your probly getting oil. it probly could just be your sensor.

also have you checked your oil

 

op sending unit got a chunk in it...change er out http://www.oreillyauto.com/EW3/Produ...riptionId=2165check the guage first put a wire in the harness on both pins should max out the guage in the truck...

 

Well I went out and started the truck and it worked agian so not sure...

 

a short?
