Subject: DML: Oil pressure problems
I have a 1993 Dodge Dakota, 2wd, 2 door, and only recently have I ever
experienced a problem with it.
<snip>
I made a stop and put in 2 quarts of oil in my panic to make sure it
had something and got it home.
--> was it down two quarts?
<snip>
I need an answer right away, because I have no idea how much this will
be and if I can afford it. It's been the only reliable transportation
I
got and I really can't afford anything like a $500 job. I look forward
to any help you can provide, hopefully emailed directly to me.

Maybe your oil pressure sending unit/gauge has gone bad, maybe a poor
electrical connection. If you have overfillied by 2 quarts, frothing
may cause a reduced oil pressure. I expect your valves would be
clattering like made if you really had low oil pressure ... is you
check engine light on?
