So I have a question for you guys. My oil pressure on my m923 is really low at idle when at operating temperature, the gauge is reading i would say at about 5 psi maybe it almost looks like its zero. But when i drive it the pressure is in the normal/ middle range on the pressure gauge. Is this normal for these trucks to have such low pressure at idle? or should I be looking at a future problem?

If memory serves me right, the TM's say 10PSI or higher is okeedokee.

The 8.3's aren't much on idle oil pressure.

And you are not the first person to ask this question.

Test it with a manual gauge, I thought several of my A2's with the 8.3 had low oil pressure at warm idle until I checked the oil pressure with a manual test gauge.
