Hook up an analog gauge and see what the real oil pressure is. You could have a defective oil pressure sender or a defective gauge. Or the oil pump pressure relief is not working properly.
If you recently had the oil changed and this just started afterward they might have put the wrong weight oil back in. A heavier weight oil will do that. Hope that helps! Jim
I have had the truck for about 3 years now and the guage always raises while driving but it's in the center while idling. What can I do to fix this?
