RE: Re: RE: Oil Pressure Gauge
I think its correct. Both my 5ton and deuce have the 0-60 gauge.

RE: Re: RE: Oil Pressure Gauge
there are 2 available. 0-60 and 0-120. both must be mated to the correct sending unit on the motor.

The sending unit will be marked for the range. The gauge is self explanatory

The sending unit can be seen on the passenger side of the block, towards the bottom rear. In this picture, it is visible directly above the flexible exhaust pipe.

Related question, My guage says 0-60 and It has been reading like 15 lbs at idle and 20 or 25 running, so I placed a mechanical gauge on the truck, to my suprise, it read 60psi at idle and just under 80psi at high throttle. Is this normal, did I have a mismatched sender to guage? I guess I am happy I am seeing higher pressure than lower pressure.

sounds like either a mismatch or bad gauge or bad sender. I have a good 0-60 gauge and sender that came off my truck. for shipping I'll send it to ya.

Also check the grounding of the gauge. Bad ground can cause inaccurate readings.yellobronc said:
Thanks for all the info everyone, one last question that has been bugging me, why is there two types of gauges 0-60 and 0-120 surely the engines do not produce differing pressures as such, if my gauge is the former and I produce 70 psi then the needle would be "bouncing" off the stop.
