The order should be stamped on your intake manifold right under the air cleaner.
My '97 1500, 5.2, 318 firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

Hope this helps

SOURCE: 1996 DODGE RAM 1500 LOSES OIL PRESSURE AFTER

There are several reasons. The oil viscosity can make a difference and if the oil is contaminated with fuel. Wear in the oil pump and all of your bearings starting with the main crankshaft bearings and the connecting rod bearings. The wrong or bad oil filter.
When cold oil flows it plugs leaking bearings and oil gears. When the oil warms, the wear in the bearings (gaps) can't hold back the thin oil and the pressure drops. If the bearings are replaced before the crank and cam are damaged, the pressure will be maintained.

SOURCE: 2004 dodge ram 4.7 no oil pressure reading until you turn it off

The oil pump either works or it doesn't, so it's not the problem. Check the wire connection at the pressure sending unit. The wire may be broken at the connector, or you may need to replace the sending unit.

I have a dodge ram van 250 1991. It seems like the reading onthe oil pressure guage on the dash has over time gotten so it is lower and lower, however, my spouse disagrees. It would be helpful to know...

Hi Harvey

this sounds correct to me, oil pressure on nearly all gauges should sit around the middle so 4 or 4.30 would be correct. Does the car have any issues at all or are you just concerned? a reading to high suggestes a blockage in the oil or "black death" as it's known in the trade this is caused by cheap oil builing up and being carbonated within the engine. the other side is when the oil pressure is low meaning the oil pump is failing and therefore not pumping to the top of the engine.

If it was mine I would be happy to say thats a healthy engine reading.

Regards and a god new year to you.

Where is the oil pressure sensor located on a 1996 murcury cougar

Look for the oil pressure sending unit on the block or the cylinder head on the V-6 or V-8 models. --- OIL PRESSURE TEST Check for proper oil pressure at the sending unit passage with an externally mounted mechanical oil pressure gauge (as opposed to relying on a factory installed dash-mounted gauge). A tachometer may also be needed, as some specifications may require running the engine at a specific rpm.
  1. With the engine cold, locate and remove the oil pressure sending unit.
  2. Following the manufacturer's instructions, connect a mechanical oil pressure gauge and, if necessary, a tachometer to the engine.
  3. Start the engine and allow it to idle.
  4. Check the oil pressure reading when cold and record the number. You may need to run the engine at a specified rpm, so check the specifications.
  5. Run the engine until normal operating temperature is reached (upper radiator hose will feel warm).
  6. Check the oil pressure reading again with the engine hot and record the number. Turn the engine OFF.
  7. Compare your hot oil pressure reading to specification. If the reading is low, check the cold pressure reading against the chart. If the cold pressure is well above the specification, and the hot reading was lower than the specification, you may have the wrong viscosity oil in the engine. Change the oil, making sure to use the proper grade and quantity, then repeat the test. Low oil pressure readings could be attributed to internal component wear, pump related problems, a low oil level, or oil viscosity that is too low. High oil pressure readings could be caused by an overfilled crankcase, too high of an oil viscosity or a faulty pressure relief valve.

No oil pressure and knocking sound

This is a clear indication that an engine bearing has failed. Usually the cheapest way to resolve this is to find a used engine and have it installed if you feel that the van still has some usable life left in it.

Hope this helps,

1996 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L with 93K. Oil dummy

I had the same problem and ended up changing the oil pump and it did not fix it. (Peace of mind anyway and it was cheap) I replaced the pressure sensor (that happens to be tucked in deep between the back of the engine and firewall) and the pressure gauge worked just fine after that.
