Well i was wondering what everyone else's oil pressure ran... I have a 2000 Dodge 1500 5.2 with 140xxx and the oil pressure sending unit took a crap on me so i had to replace it so instead of just replacing it with another stock unit i replaced it with an aftermarket oil gage and when i start the truck and its cold it has around 20-30psi and when the truck warms up it goes down to about 10-15 but when i get on the gas it goes up to around 25-30... Is this normal with this many miles but i have never had problems with oil pressure b4... Oh and on another note that oil pressure sending unit is a SOB to replace... I dont know what they were thinking when they put that there... I might have used some words that mite make the neighborhood kids scared...
there are actually a couple of threads were people discussed there oil pressure. search it and you'll be surprised...And mine is 40psi when I'm on the gas and a tad over 40psi idling.
