Alright, so I'm going to try to explain this as simple as possible. I was out wheeling, and towards the end the oil pressure gauge would drop to nothing, and the "check gauge" light would come on. Having experienced ignoring that and seizing a motor before because of a dead oil pump, I quickly shut the truck off. Restarted it and the gauge went back to what it was supposed to be. Another few minutes and same thing. It happened a few times and then the last time the gauge flung itself around the other way and is now pegged, the wrong way, up under the stop needle. So now I can't even tell what the gauge should read unless the check gauge light comes on. Then, again, restart the truck.
The truck is a little low on oil but not to the point where it the oil pump shouldn't be able to grab any. Unless it's just low enough to where when I'm tipping side to side and on inclines out in the woods, it can't get any oil. Because the check gauge light didn't come on once after I got back on paved roads. Or maybe I'm wrong completely and I got wiring wet?
Any ideas? Thank you.
