I have a 98 1500 4x4 with a 5.9 and a 46re. I just recently had the motor rebuilt and I serviced the trans today. Now while driving the oil pressure gauge will drop to 0 ding at me then jump back up to normal. It only does this periodically. The next problem is the trans. I just serviced the trans with new fluid and filter and now it doesn't want to pull at take off. It shifts fine just won't pull out in first. Any ideas? The last is the dash. I was thinking of putting a dash from a 03-05 ram in my truck. I work in a salvage yard so I basically pay near nothing for the parts but was just wondering if a conversion like this was even possible of if anyone knows someone who has done this and has pics. Anything y'all can give me advice on would be helpful

 

check electrical connector at oil pressure sensor on back of block beside distributor. maybe replace sensor.

recheck trans fluid in neutral, not park, with engine running. it sounds low.

i don't know about dash. sounds like more trouble than its worth.

 

Didnt DDRII swap a 3rd gen dash into his truck while doing the hemi swap?

 

The pressure switch is new. The connections look good as do the wite. The trans was checked in neutral and I checked it again and it's still not pulling. It does pull a little but better after warm up. And ill check into that's you who put that dash in his truck

Might be nothing wrong with the trany, rebuilt motor might be going south and is down on power. Op get a mech oil pressure gauge and do a test see what you get, also time for a comp or leak-down test.

 

Yea I had thought about that. It just seems like its not the motor bc it will go just fine in all the other gears. I'll end up putting a new trans in it before too long. I'm trying to get the interior done first
