Get a real oil pressure gauge first...then well go from there. These oil pumps very rarely go out

Yes Got one also going to swap in the new pump might as well bein a 160 mile commute to and from work every day expect the pump in tomorrow this a fairly easy install in a Guage and pump?

In order to drop the oil pan u need to raise engine out of mounts. The factory sending units can go haywire. Mine has multiple times. Check the wire on top and install new gauge befor u attempt oil pump

Ok need figure out how to install my oil pressure guage

 

[Coal_cowboy]

And possibly a sending unit ? Location

 

[91dirtydiesel]

Just "T" it with the factory sender at stock location

 

[91dirtydiesel]

It's the little gray circle at the back side (near firewall) of the block. Block fitting is 1/8" NPT male with a 1/4" NPT female with the sender screwed into that.
