high oil pressure reading, high coolant reading

the truck in my sig has a high oil pressure reading right at the highest bar and coolant is bouncing between half and highest bar, but i can touch rad its hot on the intake side and cool on return, i take rad cap off and does no burst out nor is it bubbling like a head gasket compression leak, and upper coolant tube is warm so it is circulating. what do you guys think could be doing this? bad ground somewhere?
Thanks, Gregg

Definately sounds like a bad ground. Start by checking the one that goes from the battery to the cab Ive seen it go bad alot. good luck
