oil pressure drop
wondering if anyone could help me out with this . sometimes when i'm driving all of a sudden the check gauges light comes on and the oil pressure is all the way down . and then comes right back up. usually happens at idle and randomly only happens every once in a while.
i was just thinking the sending unit might be bad .. any ideas? |
sounds like you found a good place to start had that problem before on some of the heavy equip we run after the butt pucker factor goes away usually found a bad sending unit or bad ground:scare2::scare2: and to make sure it is not bad oil press can double check by using a regular oil pressure gauge
|
Start off with the basic stuff, have you checked the oil lately
|
i would check the oil first and after that check the grounds and conectors. the go to the sending unit and so on ans so forth
|
Problem solved?
Ok I have a 98 5.9 liter Cummings 2500 that is doing EXACTLY the same thing. I also have a 96 5.9 liter Cummings 2500 that has NEVER done this even once.
So did anyone figure this out? IPSC_GUY SIERRA II ALPHA |
the factory oil pressure gauges in the cluster tend to...well suck.. check your oil make sure its all there, check ground all else fails cant go wrong with a mechanical gauge same thing happens to my truck every once in awhile

Where is the ground located at? So the indicator itself is a bad design and the sender sucks on top of that? I will say this, it is unnerving to say the least. Ya never wanna see something like oil pressure fall to zero...
