I have a question for you guys again.... I was driving home today and i noticed that my oil pressure was at 80 so i pulled over turned off my truck and turned it back on psi still at 80. so i checked the oil and it was good the truck runs fine and has no weird noises coming from the engine. Do you guys have any idea what could be causing this? and yes i have searched but all the other oil pressure problems seem to be with low oil pressure

Was that cruising? Does it go above 80 if you increase the rpm's?

No it just lays there like a dead fish. it does not matter what rpm im @

Could be just the gauge that is bad. If you have someway to log the actual pressure sensor(like with EFILive) check it that way.

The gauge on my TBSS is useless.

I really hope that's the case. No i don't really have a way to check the gauge. if it's the gauge would i have to buy a whole new instrument panel?

gauge or maybe sender unit.

pretty self explained. It's a unit that sends the signal to the gauge.

blkonblk

true. Where is it located at? and are those easy to replace? can they be replaced or should i just find another way to monitor the oil press.

Mine did that, would register 80psi when engine off key on. The sender is located on the top rear of engine block behind intake manifold. Probably need to remove the intake manifold to get to it.
