No oil pressure @ start for 5 seconds or so
I am new to diesels and this just started doing this. No pressure @ start then goes to around 65 to 70 while running. It is just at start cold or hot start. I know no pressure is bad but seems I read something about the sending unit. Any info would help.

I had a friend that was also real worried about it after he bought his truck new. He took it back to the dealer and they said that it was normal.

I brought this point up a few weeks ago, about adding a pre oiler to the unit, but almost every one shunned me away from that idea. I am thinking of doing it anyways.
