Hey yall. I was commin home from work in my 02 and the check gauge light came on and chimed. Checked my gauges and NO oil pressure at all. Pulled over and checked the oil. Was a little low but not below the add. Topped the oil off and started it up gauge went to about 30 and then after about 30sec it dropps to 0 again. Any suggestions thanks

 

probably a bad oil pressure switch or sensor?

 

Checked with a mechanical gauge 40lbs or so at start up after 30sec or so nothing
. i tried a new oil filter no luck

 

Start with the simple stuff, oil pump and check the pickup for clogs before you dig in for a rebuild.

Well pulled the pump it was locked up and the idler gear was broken

 

well that will defiantly give you an oil pressure issue bud very disappointing to find but on the bright side you didn't **** anything up so thats the bright side!!!

 

Yeah, headed to Cummins Atlantic in the morning to get a new one... Through Cummins 90.00 through Dodge 500.00 well worth the 120 mile drive

 

They drop ship
