Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / January 200798 ram quad 5.2L oil pressure drops
My 98 quadcab recently starting losing oil pressure for about 2-3 seconds, enough time for the gage cluster to ding twice. After dinging, the gage goes from 0 back up to 40 lbs. It only does it at a stop at idle (and not all the time). 81,000 miles. Could it be the pump or sending unit going bad and how do I tell? Won't do it on highway or when moving. Has required amount of oil in it and was changed 2 months ago. > My 98 quadcab recently starting losing oil pressure for about 2-3 seconds, > enough time for the gage cluster to ding twice.

Roy Hook up a mech. oil psi gauge and see if it drops or not. Sending units tend to go bad after a while. > My 98 quadcab recently starting losing oil pressure for about 2-3 seconds, > enough time for the gage cluster to ding twice.
