Could be bad oil sending unit,or your oil is getting thin or low if this is not issue may be bad oil pump.

Oil shouldn't be thin and isn't low. Just changed oil a couple weeks ago. I will check the sending unit first. Thanks

Up until yesterday the oil gauge in my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 would go to 0 - the check gauges lite would come on and pressure would be restored just as quickly as it had been lost. Yesterday, the truck won't start at all - all gauges seem to be OK except the oil gauge - nothing happens when I turn the key. Could this be the oil pump? 5 Answers
