Tim,

    I just changed out my oil pressure sending unit last night. When I
started up my truck, the gauge read more oil pressure than it ever has. I
got to thinking yesterday, that the problem never happened until after I got
my cam changed, and got progressively worse over the past year or so. Im
thinking maybe it got hit, or damaged some other way. I'll let you know if
my truck still acts up, but I'm almost positive I've fixed the problem.
Thought you'd like to know....
