Oil pressure problem???
The oil pressure in my 350 (in my truck) is getting rather low.
Now it is around and under 20 psi under moderate throttle (~2000 rpm). It doesn´t change though I go to higher rpm. When my truck is cold it is around 30 (sometimes it is only 20 when it is cold).
Today when I was driving it moved from 20 to 30 for about 30 seconds and dropped down after that. The other day when I was driving it was constant around 30 but had been under 20 the day before.
Is my oil pressure gauge making fun of me or is something strange going on in my engine?
Thanks in advange,

Just replace the sending unit. No sense getting all excited about the pressure itself if the gauge might be FUBAR as they often are. Less than $20 and about 10 minutes of work.
