1999 dodge diesel start up and zero oil pressure whats wrong dealership is saying sensor but i think its the?

pump, it has 57k on the motor any thoughts?





any other problems i should be concerned about1999 dodge diesel start up and zero oil pressure whats wrong dealership is saying sensor but i think its the?
I assume that the dealer actually looked at it. Why do you think he doesn't know?





Did the pressure just stop working or did it diminish slowly? If it went slowly, I'd agree that it might be the pump. If it just went out at once, I would agree with the dealership.





Good luck1999 dodge diesel start up and zero oil pressure whats wrong dealership is saying sensor but i think its the?
If the truck went from good pressure to no pressure right away then it's probably the sensor, but just to be safe I would get it fixed before I drove it.
Could be the oil pump or collapsed oil filter. My son in law had the same problem with his truck.
Does it clatter, then quit running with lots of smoke pouring out of the engine? If not, you actually have oil pressure, and it's the sensor.
there probably telling you right on it,they do have a sending unit on them that does go bad and read 0 and it still has oil pressure on it,what they probably meant to say was a sending unit,they do go bad on these trucks though, i wouldn't think it would be an engine problem or a pump problem id try a sending unit first on it,there around 40 bucks for a new one,but that's what i have always found it to be,good luck i hope this help,s.
Don't argue with logic. If the engine was bad the dealer would hit you up to overhaul it. The Cummins engine is good for at least 200.000 miles if well taken care of. Replace the sensor and see what happens.
