Ok, my oil pressure on my truck gets low and the needle starts bouncing when at low idle speeds (in drive or reverse) but returns to normal pressure when in park or neutral. This all happens after it warms up, and the oil pressure gauge will be all the way at zero at some times.
I replaced the oil pump, oil filter and oil (K&N oil filter, Royal Purple 5w-30, and a Melling oil pump). It still does it. So I ran some sea-foam through my fuel and my oil, and it helped out tremendously, although the needle is still bouncing a little bit and still making noises. I have had had all the lifters replaced as well.
I just bought a new oil sending unit to install. Now what I want to know is, if the location of the sending unit is high enough to where I can just change it without draining the oil, and if there is anything I should do specifically when changing it.
If this doesn't work I'm pulling the motor and changing the sending tube and the oil pan gasket and will scrub the stuff down real good, but hopefully it's just the sending unit is bad.
