oil pressure guage problem???

[Josh Young]

Since I bought my truck the oil pressure guage has acted crazy, when you start it the needle will peg out past 80psi and the check guages light will blink, drive it a few miles and the light will go out and the guage will start reading again. I replaced the oil pressure sending unit yesterday and still have the same problem. Thinking now it is the guage bad, just wondering if anybody else ran into this problem. Also can you buy just the guage or do you have to buy the whole cluster? Thanks in advance!

you could get the gague outta a junker

just think you need a ohm meter to find where to set the needle (the needle does not have a flat spot on the shaft, you can put in wrong)

im not sure on the exact procedure, so wait for another reply

they are gonna say go with a mechanical gague, my gague is high (well it seems high) but i dont want after market gagues in the truck, gonna hide my gagues for the bad setup when i do it
