Im thinking its the gauge as well i will compression check and what not , and i run mobile 1 10-30 with the mobile 1 filter or k&n filter. i just wish they had a replacement for the dummy oil pressure gauge that would read the real pressure.

 

let us know what the new gauge says....

 

ok thanks

 

it might be untill this weekend when i will get time to mess with it but we will see

 

Sometimes it just the oil sending unit...

 

Which is why I told him to check with a new gauge.... that's only b/c he is using an aftermarket gauge.

 

Is there a way to replace the stock gauge with a gauge that actually shows pressure and not just a dummy gauge

 

No it's not. Not on these trucks anyways.

 

You'd have to get to the oil sending unit on the back side of the engine and run a new gauge from there.

 

Still havent had time to mess with it.
