On my 95 RAM V10, I've experienced an Oil Pressure Gauge fluctuation and required replacement about every 30 k miles. (or so the dealer says).
Sitting at a light it will occasionally bobble below and above the 40 psi center line. Then on turnpike runs, while I set it at 60 mph, and the tach reads a constant 1600, it will start to do the same thing.
Under city driving and stop and go conditions, it reads/responds well under acceleration thru all 4 gears.
Under warranty it was not an issue, just a bother. Now at over 100k and on its third sender(again, according to the dealer) its started this dance. I am skeptical that its the sender, more interested in finding the wiring connections. I understand the oil pump is on the inside front cover on the V10, and surmise the sender to be in that area also.
Anyone know for sure where the sender is, @ cost, and if there is an oil pressure regulator that may be involved ??
Thanks - I really like this truck, even after over 7 years and 100k it delivers - day after day after day... I still have fun sucking in those little BMW's at the light.
