thank you guys for all your insight. my speedo gauge is acting up now too, along with a broken odometer so i think i am just going to build a new gauge cluster since i need more gauges anyways. anyone have any custom gauge set ups i can look at for an idea?

Here you go Frosty. Lets see your gauges! (picture thread) - Dodge Diesel - Diesel Truck Resource Forums

My oil pressure gauge sits right at about the 1st mark on the gauge (approx 1/4 to 1/3 from left). Due to the variability of original 18 year old + gauges I don't worry about it too much. If low oil pressure is an issue, isin't there a low oil pressure light that comes on?

isin't there a low oil pressure light that comes on? :argh:OK you go with that

Not saying that you would want to rely on anything that is a factory idiot light when a low pressure situation may exist. Just wondering if the sensor/dash light exists on these trucks like other vehicles of the era. I take it by your answer that you don't know yourself.

I don't know if there's a warning light or not on my truck. I'm guessing not. Thankfully, I've never been in a position to find out. :jump:

Y'know, it never fails to amaze me how many people rely on a gauge to tell them whats going on, instead of verifying it. Like, how often does anyone actually pull the dipstick and check oil level?

my oil pressure gauge goes to the second mark and stay there. It doesn't matter how cold it is or how warm I get the engine. Ive owned the truck for a year and it still hasnt crapped out.

could be sending unit or guage. i check at each fillup.:w2:

i check all mine once a week and anytime i think i heard something that sounds not quite right.
