oil pressure
ok so I took my jeep wheelin about 2 weeks ago and got into some serrious mud. I think too much mud (if thats possible). My 98 chero is my everyday driver and today I took it on about a 2 hour drive (highway) and everything seemed fine except the oil pressure gauge. at 70mph and about 2500 rpms my oil pressure gauge would randomly drop to about 10-20 then cruise right back up and sit at about 40. I went through so many oil pressure sensors in my 95 YJ but im not sure if I got mud in the sensor or what? and yes i bathed the jeep a few times since wheelin. any ideas?

My 96 had oil pressure issues....would float to 20 pounds on startup and drop to zero.....changed pressure switch (10 minutes) and nnow have a constant 60 pounds of pressure....cheap fix

I knock that little wire off half the time when working on that side of the engine so I know that it can be a loose connection. Check that it is tight and see what your readings are then.
