Hi guys, im a newbie here and this is my first post. I just recently got a 95 powerstroke and love it. I have noticed that it reads low oil pressure on the dash however the truck runs great and does not smoke. From what i've read the gauges on these trucks arent very accurate. I want to put in an afternmarket one, and was wondering if there were any that you guys recomend, or any companies you recomend getting them from. Thanks for the help.
"Isn't accurate" is an understatement. In actuality it's just a glorified idiot light. The "sender" is actually just a pressure switch. When there's no pressure, the gauge goes all the way down. When pressure comes up, the pressure switch closes, and the gauge just goes...to a position somewhere other than zero.
Although I've added other gauges (boost, pyro) I really gave up on worrying about oil pressure.

Autometer and Isspro are your common gauges, check out egauges.com.

Something in the 0 to 100 psi range...There is a port on the oil filter housing that can be used for the sender.
I would use an electrical gauge rather than mechanical...last time I used a mechanical oil pressure gauge, the plastic tubing broke and shot oil all over the place.
