Best Answer

A 396 Chevy engine has the oil pressure sending unit located in back of the engine, on top, close to the distributor, drivers side. The opening is a 1/8" pipe thread. You can "tee" it and have both factory and auxiliary oil gauges in operation.

After the truck warms to operating temperature the oil pressure drops dramatically. Is it time to change the oil pump and If so how do you replace the oil pump in a 1989 Chevy 3500 ck?

You may have a faulty oil pressure sending unit. remove the sensor and hook a pressure gauge up to it and get the gauge in a position the you can see it while driving. Get it up on the thruway and see if it is in spec. If you don't address this asap, there is potential to wipe out the motor.
