The oil pressure guage went to zero the other day in my 2001 Cummins Stealership says its a common problem for the oil pressure sending unit to go bad on these trucks, and that the replacment one is $182 :eek: Problem is, I can't find anything other than stealership parts to replace it with Anybody else had this problem and where can I find a reasonably priced replacement part? :beer:

Try a Cummins engine shop.. That is where your dealer gets their Cummins parts..



I fogot to tell you that you will need the engine serial number when you call Cummins.

:confused: Not to sound stupid, but where would I find a Cummins Engine Shop?

Here you go:

http://www.cummins.com/na/pages/en/distributors/distributor.cfm?state=ca

Phone the nearest one and ask for parts. They are also the cheapest and best place to pick up filters (Fleetgard) for your cummins as well.

Gracias! Got one just about 15 miles from me :grinpimp:

How much did you save??

Not under the 5 yr 100 mile warranty?

You'll find the lift pumps for under $200 at a Cummins dealer, but over $500 at the Dodge stealer.

Saving about 80 bucks :D

Bought the truck used and it only had a 36K 3 year warranty. I did 42K in the last 10 months alone :laughing:

You can get most engine parts way cheaper at Cummins vs. the stealer. For a good website about your Cummins check out www.turbodieselregister.com Lots of help and lots of info.
