    2023 with 3.6L Oil Pressure gauge on dash

    Just purchased a 2023 RAM 1500 Classic and I wanted to make sure what is the correct range for the Oil Pressure Indicator. The needle is just slightly left of middle- is that a safe pressure range or is it too low? If it is too low what repairs / changes are needed to bring the pressure up...

    4.7 oil pressure next steps

    I’m brand new here, and I know this is an old tired topic, but I’ve searched for further answers with no luck. This is going to be long winded. I apologize in advance. Another caveat is: the only mechanical knowledge I have is what I have learned from the internet while doing all my own...

    Truck wobbling and seems to have low power when in drive after oil pressure sensor replacement

    Truck threw a check engine light at me this morning and the code was indicative of an oil pressure issue. (Reading 99psi, super high, at the time) O’reillys scanner suggested changing the oil pressure sensor. “Cool, easy peasy” so I thought. Easy peasy on Hemi’s, frustrating enough to make me...

    Digital oil pressure reading at 100PSI but L and H oil pressure gauge reading normal. Check Engine Light on

    I have a 2016 Ram 1500 3.6. The check engine light came on and the oil pressure is reading at a consistent 100 PSI when idling and when driving. My L and H gauge is reading normal and appears to be functioning properly. Is this simply the oil pressure sensor needing to be replaced? I hear it’s a...

    Check Gauges light going on & off

    Hi, Checking to see if anyone has had a similar issue as I am having. I have an '05 with the 4.7. The "Check Gauges" light goes on and off many times while driving, and while the light comes on, the oil pressure gauge drops, but most of the time by the time the gauge gets all the way down, the...

    MDS P1524

    I had a droning/whining noise intermittently while driving my 2019 Ram 1500. I had it looked at and was told that the most likely issue was MDS Solenoid. Currently do not have the extra funds to get it replaced, permanently deleted, or to leave my truck there and get an in depth inspection...

    I recently had an oil change 5w-20 and filter changed on my 2019 Ram 1500 5.7L. When I start the truck it displays 0 psi for then jumps to around 55-60 psi within seconds. Drove around the block about a mile and a half turned off the truck and the psi drops to 0. I’m monitoring this through the...

    Random Oil Pressure Readings & Hard Start (Before and after engine rebuild)

    To begin with, about 3 months ago my 5.7 liter hemi 2005 dodge ram 1500 ran into a massive amount of problems all in one day. These issues were, loud knocking, stalling, misfires, hard start, and many other things. One of the smaller issues was the oil gauge dropping to 0, this would eventually...

    I have a 2015 ram ecodiesel. I was recently going on a trip and got about 30 miles from my destination when I decided to make a quick pit stop. Truck was running fine.

    Oil Pressure

    So I bought the truck in February had no issue up until last week, when p1524 code popped up, and my oil pressure at idle would stay at 27 and during driving it would not go above 31.

    Oil Pressure/Temp about right?

    So I just did my RAM's first oil change. Switched to Red Line 5W20 and Royal Purple Filter. I'm sure we all feel this way after an oil change, but it seems SO MUCH SMOOTHER. Even after only having 3k miles I swear the Hemi tick is gone...what little bit I did have I can almost not even notice...

    Hi, My first post on the site. I have an 85 Dodge D150 with a 360 engine. I noticed about a week ago that my oil pressure gauge on my dash was reading high, a couple dashes below all the way to the top. Usually, it sits right in the middle. I checked the pressure using a pressure kit and it...
