Sudden Low oil pressure. Need some help
#11
... But it's erratic, it rises with rpm but if you hit a bump or turn just right it goes up. When you first hit the brakes it rises then drops. Pulling into my drive way which is slighty inclined it drops even further. Enough that the DIC dings and says low oil pressure. ...

No I've been painting my wife's car and DDing the hoe. Being that it's broke I have to make a mad dash to get her car put back together so I can drive it. I'll get to the hoe this weekend. This thing is a pain in my ***. But it's so freaking fun to drive. I feel like a kid at Christmas every morning that I drive it. It's been that way for like 6 years now yet it never gets old.
My filter looks close to the one in the pic. Wtf causes this? Running too low of rpm locked? My settings for the Tcc are stock which can go down to 1000 rpm locked up. It just tugs along.

I wouldn't think the pressure would be affected by vehicle movement/position if it were a bearing. You may want drop the pan and confirm there is no debris in there getting sucked onto the pickup screen. I would also look into the sender/gauge circuit. If the sender is still in the stock location, it is very easy to crack them as the intake is being installed. If it has been relocated with any sort of adapter, be sure it is grounding to the block. When I relocated mine with the Kenne Bell kit, the adapter and ptfe washer did not provide good continuity from the sensor to the block giving me very erratic pressure reading.
