Just a quick update: Ran over this morning to Harbor Freight to pick up a manual oil pressure kit. I have not installed it yet. On the way home I drove on the highway again at 70mph to see if I could reproduce the low oil pressure problem when I came to a stop light. It would seem that the...

Thank you all very much!!!! Great insight and thank you for your thoughts on my issue. Clearly I need to get the mechanical oil pressure gauge and start there. I hope that is the issue. Fingers crossed.

JKP - thanks for your response. I will work on getting a manual oil pressure gauge and try and get it on by the weekend and report back. I am still trying to understand why the dummy gauge looses pressure only at idle after longer trips.

Hey, I really appreciate you thoughts fellas. It is what it is. If it is crank bearings, then I just need to deal with it. I'm no mechanic, so this is pretty new to me. I am very "hands-on", so if I see a video (like how to replace the OPDA) it's no problem. I changed out the old OPDA to...

I can't speak for previous owner, but I have changed oil religiously at 5,000 miles. I did just complete the oil change 15 minutes ago. I still don't understand why oil pressure is fine driving around town, but craps out once I do highway or long distance driving. Any thoughts on that...

Thanks for your response. I have not changed the oil recently. It is over due. However, I bought all the supplies yesterday to do an oil change and I will do that this morning. I have run traditional Pennzoil 10W-30 motor oil, but am changing this time to a synthetic blend 10W-30. I did not...

It is a 2005 Rubicon with an automatic transmission and 167,000 miles. Had the check gauge light come on a few months back due to low oil pressure. I change out the oil pressure sensor, no luck. I then had to wait 6 weeks to changed out the OPDA with a new Crown OPDA. (Crown OPDA out of...

What codes are you getting on your Check Engine Light if any? Just thinking out loud, but could it be bad wiring on the transmission speed sensors?

Just started using the Torque app last week and really like it. I also used it on my buddy's Suburban and looked up some CEL codes for him. The Torque app is pretty robust given that it is free. For $4.95 you can upgrade to the Torque Pro. So far I haven't seen a reason too yet.

Congratulation on completing the Rubicon. Great write up with some great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations on the new Ride!

That looks really nice.

Steel City 06 and TN Pete - thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.

Tworley - thanks for the reply. I appreciate the insight. Lilnuts - thanks for the welcome. Back at ya (y)

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into the Fusion App. What do you typically monitor on your Fusion App?
