my oil pressure has always read the same as most everybody elses from what i have read here. about a week ago i took it in to get the guage cluster replaced due to a bulb that was out and a bad connection. since that day my oil pressure is reading extremely high, like 50psi when hot at idle and it sits dead on 120psi on a cold startup. in florida, 50* coldest. dont know if this matters but the needle does go down to zero when the engine is off. any explainable reason for this or just a bad guage? im hoping that nothing is really wrong, cant imagine something serious happened at the same time it was getting the cluster replaced. thanks.

I had this same problem once, your dealer needs to reprogram, "Flash" your instrument cluster with the correct version for your truck. I don't think you have anything to be concerned about!

I've had that problem since day one. Two gauge clusters later still the same
problem. I guess higher pressure is better than none!!! I don't believe it's a
huge deal.
