Replaced the oil pressure sending unit
Omg. What a PIA. Changed oil from 15w40 to 10w30 in my 85 ram W150 prospector. Little did I know, this act would cause the oil pressure to practically bottom out. After much discussion, removal of the sending unit, connecting a manual gauge for testing and determining the oil pressure was in fact running low (20 at idle, 30 at 2k rpm), I was then info'd by a knowledgable mopar guy that the w150 is good with running the higher weight oil (preferred) and that they run rust fine with the pressures I was seeing. So, I put the new sending unit in (because I had alreadyy bought it) and drained the 10/30, replaced with 15/40 and I'm right back in biz. Here's a couple pics of the sending unit. Couldn't believe the placement of this thing. Lord, I got bruises, cuts and scrapes all over tryin to get it out and back in.
