What to use for detailing

From : smudgecity

Q: and rod bearings and cam bearings would someone be kind enough to tell me where i can locate the oil pressure sending sensor on a 1997 dodge ram 1500 4x4 5.9l i suspect that mine may be going bad because the oil light constantly comes on when i drop below 1000 rpm idling at a full stop and lately the pressure guage has been dropping to 0 while idling as well. as soon as i pop back above 1000 rpm the light goes off and the guage goes back to just a hair below 40. the truck is not burning any oil and has 164000 miles on it. thank you! jason at 164000 miles i would plan for an engine rebuild in the near future if the sending unit doesnt correct your problem. low oil pressure is normally caused by worn crankshaft main bearings. .

you fill from the top port until fluid starts coming out. if 7 quarts came out its good bet 7 go back in. i bought 2 gallons last time i changed the trans fluid in my 2000 dak and had some left over so 7 sounds about right... sean rec.bicycles.marketplace .
