I think you've got the wrong sending unit.

 

I'll have to pick up one next week when we get back from vacation. Local parts stores are already closed. (small town). I'll take the old one in with me instead of trying to get it online.

 

Wiring. The sending unit operates on resistance, so damaged wiring will cause a false reading. Look up the wire and you may find a splice covered in masking tape (happened), or the plug is just corroded.

The color of the oil looks fine to me. That is at least from what I know.

 

What on earth is that? Looks like a cheap noname from here

 

Quick question, easy question.

My '91 has manual windows and they can sometimes need some 'grunt' to turn the window crank. I assume this is just some old age. Where/How do I go about lubricating whatever is in there? What should I use to clean old gunk off/lubricate?

 

I don't know what kind of filter it is. I had it done at a mechanic shop.

 

Ya I'd replace that filter lol napa gold or equivalent

 

Therm housing is leaking underneath the bottom bolt somewhere. I cleaned it off and can see it dripping so I'm positive its the therm housing

What's weird is it was only dribbling water put of there and I put antifreeze in first. I dunno.

I used a paper gasket like usual. Should I take it all apart and use some rtv as gasket? Maybe it would get a better seal?

 

Even though it is new? Your saying it could be the type of filter right? How does the type of filter make the oil pressure so low to the point that it makes my "check gauges" light come on?

1. They used, a really cheap bottom dollar oil filter. These filters have known issues with restrictions and collapsing internals that can cause problems exactly like you describe. This is why we recommend a filter from Purolator, WIX, Mopar, and other reliable brands. Replacing it with a good unit like a NAPA Gold will fix this. (Don't forget to top off the oil! Some will dribble when you remove the old filter.)

Is this what you were talking about?

 

Yes. Cheap filters can collapse and impact oil pressure. $8 and 5 minutes to replace it. Ask for a NAPA Gold 1515

 

Could I also hook up one of those Code readers and possible figure it out that way too?

 

Is the check engine light on?

 

Well I took it back apart. Hit the mounting surface on the engine with a little sand paper. Polished clean (well almost) letting the rtk skin over now. Hoping for the best. Lol
