I can drive my truck a few miles and the oil gauge drops to zero and goes right back up. It won't do this sitting in the drive , even if i put it into drive gear. There is no noise coming from the engine when this happens, so I replaced the sending unit above the filter, and it still does this. I change the oil a while back after redoing the head gaskets. The check gauges light will come on and immediately go back out and the hand will sweep back up. This only occurs when I come to a stop at a light . Do you have any ideas ? Please help !

How's the oil level?

Check out the third gen ram section.

 

The oil level is fine. I went over every thing, but just can't seem to figure it out. A lot of people tell me it might be the gauge going bad or has gone bad.

 

Ram or Dakota?

 

It's a Ram 1500 SLT model ,4DR, Quad cab, w/tow package.
