OK so Sunday Night I drove home and after backing into the driveway I look down and I see the "Check Gauges" Light, I look across the gauges and it wasn't the alternator (like it was the last time I saw that message) this time the Oil Pressure Gauge had dropped to 0, I know the gauge is a sorta BS gauge on these trucks (having watched May03LT's video where he straight unplugged the sensor and still had a reading years ago). Engine sounded normal but i shut it off for about 20-30 seconds then cranked it back up and the gauge went back to normal. How should I proceed from here? I replaced the VVT Solenoid and replaced all the stepper motors in the gauges about 5-6 years ago and have used Full Synthetic oil exclusively the whole time, is there a way to manually check the oil pressure to make sure it's not the oil pump or something else?
