What would you guys say is optimal oil pressure range for a 1500?

What would you say is the "PULL OFF THE ROAD YOU MORON!" point? (aka minium acceptable oil pressure)

Thanks...
 
Don't think so... Just recently installed a pressure guage and want to know what I am reading.

Had a heart attack moment when my pressure dropped to ZERO yesterday, but discovered it was a pinch in the cheapo nylon line. I will be picking up a copper line ASAP.
 
Morris, I've had a few of those moments myself. Sometimes followed by a loud "BANG" and a lot of smoke!
Glad it was just an indication glitch.

As well Jeff. Happy Birthday, glad you made it to 32.
 
LOL, some how I knew you were no spring chicken.
 
Heard that. Was about 110 degrees at the track last nite. So glad I have a friend with an A/C in his big moter home.

Other wise I am sure I would have passed out. And that is fact, they said I was white and pasty looking when I went in and layed on the floor with the dogs.

It's all a function of age I think.
 
Slow an' easy Jack, slow an' easy /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif !!! Got in the wifes car yesterday and the air temp inside was 122* (literally like getting into the oven /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/whistle.gif !)!! Drove 3-5 miles til it dropped to 72*. Wife insisted the AC wasn't working right (brand new car!) so took it in to have it checked...she wouldn't believe me that it was <span style="color: #FF0000">JUST PLAIN HOT OUT</span>! They proved to her that it was pumping 42*!!

PS Have a happy Jeff (Nothing gets easier, just mellower!!) /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif
