So I replaced my Oil Pressure Sensor back in March. Symptoms were that if i drove the truck past a certain length of time (usually highway), when I came to a stop at a light or something, my Oil Pressure gauge would start to go nuts. Sometimes it was only if i was sitting still, foot on brake and turning the steering wheel a little. Sometimes it is me just sitting with foot on brake. If I lift off the brake it is fine. Also, day to day on my short trip to work (approx 7-10 miles) the problem does not happen.
After I replaced the sensor back in March the issue went away. Now it is back, same symptoms. Possible it's just a bad sensor or do you think there is a strain somewhere causing it? Could something in the steering be affecting the reading? Truck runs fine otherwise
