Default oil presser and tem problem

ihav a 97 ram with 90,000 miles. My oil light keeps coming on and the oil presser keeps droping or sit at 0 and my oil tem at 210 just drive down my road. Is my oil pump going? I put a new oil presser send unit or what ever you want to call it. i really need help. i think my motor done. It still starts and drives up just not the same for some reason.

get a mechanical pump on it. double check everything. 210 might not be that bad for internal temp. an if it is bad oil pressure dont drive till a new oil pump is in an the bearing are double checked.. thats the safest bet in my opinion.

Could be many things.Buddy of mine had the same problem once. It turned out to be a faulty FRAM oil filter.
