Help! No oil pressure!

[Ryan Wright]

Thanks for the numbers, Leroy. This sounds more like what I remember
seeing the last time I took the coach out. I'm betting I have a flaky
sending unit. I'll install a mechanical gauge in the engine
compartment as a backup and to double-check, then replace the sending
unit.

Appreciate everyone's help, as always.
