I'm new here having recently acquired a 2001 Ram 1500 with 82K miles on it. It was well taken care of and is almost showroom condition. Anyway, was driving it today when the oil pressure gauge dropped to zero and I got the check engine light and the chime, then it went back to 30, then to zero, then to 30, and so on. Engine is running fine and the oil is up to the top of the safe zone, so I suspect the sending unit. Reading the posts here, I've read that the sending unit is back by the distributor on the 5.2L engines. I looked back there and it seems almost impossible to reach anything back there. Is this a dealer job? Any idea on what it costs to have it replaced? Any help or pictures would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
