dang,Am I the only one that remembers this?The factory gauge is an Idiot Light with a needle.The sender is nothing more than an on/off switch.When the OP reaches 8PSI it closes and the gauge goes to middle.So,basically,you can have 8-800PSI of oil pressure and it will only show middle gauge.Gee,I am the one that will never have a running IDI again and noticed this?!?!?!Man,I figured atleast Mel would have said something.Guess screwing with that Powderchoke has given him brain damage?Guess EM radiation is a bad thing....
Some are like this. Some have the small pressure switch with a resistor inline. Some have the large can style with a potentiometer inside. The Large can style will give you a variable reading. The small on off ones will not. Don't generalize everything into one statement. I've seen them both ways. The large can style is way more common than the on off style over the years.
I am running no additives, and oil pressure has been a hair lower than normal - on the "N". As for fuel, I have not changed anything, and running regular #2.
What the hell is this? I got in my truck this morning after I got off of work. I go to start it, and it cranks a littler longer than normal. It catches, and I hear thook thook thook thook from the intake (I think). I goose it a hair, and the noise is gone. Is this a sign of my pending demise? There have been no other sounds/driveability probs.
