The oil pressure gage on my 01 CTD rises all the way up to the spot where it sits after the engine is started as soon as I turn the key on I have watched it and it doesn't drop after starting or anything. Is this normal? I couldn't see anything anywhere that looks like a preluber. Any thoughts on this?

Also the seatbelt light in the dash stays on no matter what anyone know of a common reason for this either?

And last I am going to straight pipe the rig and also put in a mild chip. i was thinking along the lines of the Edge EZ due to not wanting a %#$*load of power that I would most definatly misuse and cause breakdowns that would put me in the doghouse. Now do i understand the edge correctly that it has 3 settings that you can move between? if so is this able to be done from inside the cab? and last would power setting 1 be pretty much like stock from a fuel milage standpoint / or would I be able to return to stock setting easliy?

Sorry about the long post wanted to get this all in before I leave work and loose my internet usage until Tuesday. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Thanks for the help

Usually the oil pressure will rise and fall a little with engine rpm's, you may want to hook up a temporary mechanical gauge to verify your electrical one. Dodge's system leaves a little to be desired, and oil pressure sending units have been a fairly common problem with some trucks.

Reach under the seat and unplug the seatbelt wiring.

Yes the Edge is adjustable in-cab.

Enjoy your Christmas break

 

Thanks for the info. Heading to the store right now to get fittings to hook all my gages up and see how things look

 

my oil gauge doesn't go up at all dodge told me pressure is fine but sending unit is bad . they wanted 400 bucks too fix it. from what I understand it's a 70 dollar part. does anyone know if it's easy to change. I don't know if that's a stupid question but I don't know a whole lot about trucks yet. and wanted to avoid throwing 400 bucks to dodge.

 

Depending on the year of your truck {fill out your sig, please} some have an updated sending unit which requires a reflash of the computer.
It's not hard to change, just unscew the old and screw in the new. It's here; http://www.dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/Fac...ocations-l.gif

 

thx. that seems fairly easy for 400 bucks dodge dealerships suck. 2001.5 quad cab 107000 miles that's all I know.
