Oil pressure gauge

[Mike Hohnstein]

I wonder about both gages. 80 is about 40 #s high for idle pressure. Sweet
spot is 35 hot idle and 65/75 at cruise with Rottella 15/40. The dash gage has
an electric sender as far as I know and that sender might be faulty.

My engine oil pressure gauge is not working properly. I was road
testing the other day and the gauge read 25 Psi. I installed a
caterpillar mechnical gauge in the r.h. cylinder headtoday and at idle
cold it shows 80 PSI (it was about 51 degrees when testing)while the
dash gauge still shows 25 psi
Anyone replaced the dash gauge? it looks to be a job. ANY suggestions
or knowledge would be appreciated.
