I need to know, am I in trouble or can I let it slide? My oil pressure indicator in the dash does not kick up until the truck is warm. If it is warm weather or I just drove it in the past couple hours (when the oil is still warm I guess). It kicks up and stays up fine. I figured this might not hurt too much since I don't hear any noises or knocks from it and as long as I keep the level good, it should slosh around for a few minutes until the pump kicks in (if it's the pump at all) and can take care of it for the rest of the trip. Here's a link to a video of a typical drive.
If it's anything like I've seen in other motors, this will be a B*tch to fix with a capitol "B" and might not even be worth messing with. Is the gauge or sensor going south a common problem? Thoughts?
