I cranked the truck up this morning and everything was fine except I noticed that the oil pressure gauge bottomed out a few seconds after it started. It popped back up and then back down so I quickly shut the truck off. I checked the dipstick and it was obviously slinging oil. Turned the truck over again, it popped up, popped down and back up quickly and stayed good all day. Could it have been simply a small clog in the sending unit? the truck has 85,000 and runs great. I know that gauge is basically an idiot light on a needle. any ideas? Thanks. Houston
