View Full Version : Oil pressure gauge "bouncing"
With the truck fully warmed up and at idle, the oil pressure gauge "bounces" around.
Is this normal or should I be getting worried?
I have checked and the oil level is fine.
Thanks

? How much does it bounce? Is the gauge following an unstable idle?
It moves from 35-45 according to the gauge. The idle appears to be constant, no noticable "surging". :confused:

I don't think that it should be doing this. If it is under warranty I would take it to the stealer. If out of warranty I would first verify the gauge by connecting a direct reading pressure gauge. I suspect the sending unit or possibly the gauge cluster and not the engine oil pump.
It is still under warranty...I am sure they will tell me it's normal :(
Thanks for the input.

If they tell you that it is normal, have them show you this normal condition on another truck that they have on their lot
