I have a 2003 Ford Ranger, 3.0 V6 with a 5 speed. It has almost 80K on it. I do not take as good of care of the truck as I should.
I have noticed recently that while driving, my oil pressure gauge drops to 0 for a count of maybe "1 mississippi" then pops right back to a normal indication. It is not like when I shut the truck off, and the needle drops to zero in a slow arc, but it quick drops, like someone was behind my dash and used their fingers to crank it down as fast as they could, then a second later or so cranks it back to where it normally reads. I hope that makes sense.
Any ideas? Oil level is good. My truck uses barely any oil between oil changes, which like I said I do not keep up on like I should. I don't use it that often, only when my motorcycle is not an option. But I am still paying for it, and would like to not blow up the motor any time soon.
