You may just be right, Kohburn.sounds like we need to swap gauges
I've got a mechanical gauge that I will hook up first to see what is "truth".
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

part of why accurate oil pressure readings are so important - you will see drops in oil pressure long before you get enough clearance for a knock. in which case you can usually just replace bearings and it's just like new. once you get a knock often the crank will be damaged.So....out of curiosity, if my engine had too much clearance in the rod bearings...wouldnt I hear her knocking around a bit?
I was wondering the same thing. After some digging I found it in the Multifuel trouble shooting TMCan you or someone take a picture or tell me where to find the oil pressure sending unit is on the m35a2 thanks
Mine does the sameI have the opposite problem. Once my Deuce gets started, oil pressure jumps to about 60 lbs. When it is running, it practically pegs the gauge at almost 120 psi. Even when warm and at idle, it reads 45 psi. Is this too high?
More than likely, your pressure relief valve is stuck.Mine does the same
If the gauge was the wrong one and he was reading the main line pressure, then wouldn't that mean the wiring is wrong ? The cabin pressure gauge reads the "adjusted" pressure so if the wrong gauge is used then he would be getting a lower-than-normal pressure reading in the cabin, correct ?It is possible that your sending unit is a 60 PSI unit, multifuel trucks had both 60 and 120 PSI sending unit available and someone might have installed the wrong one, I have seen it more than a few times in 20 years of this fun.
