Oil pressure gauge

[Gregory OConnor]

Good point Mike, bet it is the gauge and not the sender???? Or a
wire grounding out on the way????? But you should not rule out
oilpressure reading being correct!!! Ernie has a Detroit6V92

The 3208Cats have a major oil pressure isssue that added a interval
replacement of the oil screen pickup tube in the pan. I had a 1985
3208T lose the oil pickup and droped it in the pan. The entire pipe
cracked off at the mounting because the screen cantilevers off the
pipe and constant vibration proved a crack. Cat Parts Clerk told me
it is a common issue and the pickup was in stock.
