Yep, now my sender unit is stuffed. Oh well, 4 years is better than most people seem to get. $105 is a shock to the hip pocket but.
Hmm, and until it failed, using the 10W40 kept oil pressure and...

I see 90 when its hot...so that ia way better than 1/2 way all the time. I will certainly keep an eye on both.

Water temp scared me because the Nissan one hides behind driver's arm...and had a temp rise climbing thru the Hysen Tunnels... So fitted that one...and figured oil pressure to keep oil level checked..

I dis the reset all on the gauge, changed oil to 15w and did an engine oil flush at same timw and ao far seema to hold 》25 when warm. Bloody gauges...

Hey Hodgey, yes it is scary...
Today my EGT/Boost gauge Boost went to MAX..but after a little while came back to reading correctly.
Starting to wonder about the previous mechanic who fitted them...

Thanks Hodgey, Will ask the REDARC guy at the Show on the weekend...see how to get a replacemetn sender.

At least living in Adelaide, so easier to get to them..pain to get out of truck though. Might ask them for a replacement sender for mine...

yep.. bugger.

Threedogs,
The gauge sender is in a T-piece with the Nissan switch. The sender and gauge came together, so hope, assume they are matched..

Mudski?? Your pressure dropped as you were driving too? ..and then just died??
I thought it was all things like Main bearing wear, or those terrible engine death things.
It still goes up and down...

Thanks Mudski.
I was coming around to that idea too, but...was worried about it being a real problem with my truck.
As of now, will reset my alarm to lower, and watch the pressure go up and down,...

No matter what tray you get, likely you should also get some fabricating done to stop it moving and breaking underneath.
I had a metal strap/ connected betwen inner battery hold-down out to the...

G'day mate. Hope you have a good look around and find some good info.

G'day mate, and yep Coffin bay is pretty cool..
SA is a great place to have a Patrol, and I am sure you'll have a ball.

Welcome mate.
You have some cool toys, and this is a good place to find out some more ideas to make them go go go..

Maa-aate, not just another Newby..
Another Patroller joining a great group.
Sounds like you have a plan, and the car to build up to something cool. Good onya.

Hi,
I fitted an engine oil pressure gauge to my 2003 GU 3.0 litre Patrol.
I use Penrite 5W50 oil, changed every 5000km.
Recently on longer (warmer) trips the oil pressure drops as follows:
a....

Drove home from Willangi at the 4WD Octoberfest. ..three days of great fun..great tracks...great mates....

Packed and off to 4WD Octoberfest at Willangi. Yay.

Only had 17 days...but still had time to check so much out... Work next week..:-(

Washed all the mud and grime off after adding 4400km to the odometer after driving from Adelaide to Gawler Ranges, Head of Bight, back to Ceduna, up Goog's Track, across to Kingooya, up to Coober...

One for me.

Elephants are real?

Yep, was always a hot dog up hills...but what can ya do.... Hopefully it will be better now....
