ok so i got the computer problem fixed. oh by the way its an 01 dak 4.7L 4x4 with the manual trans. then i sprung a leak in the radiator a little stop leak fixed that. now the oil pressure sucks i hope its not the pump but it runs good pressure until the motor gets to opperatin temp then it stays on the first white line and doesnt leave till about 4 grand. also i think i have a valve stickin because if i get on it the damn thing blows grey smoke. thanks for any help.

To compound your problems, that stop-leak stuff is eventually gonna gum up the thermostat, so prepare for it.
On the oil pressure issue:
Are you the original owner?
How often do you change the oil and filter?
How many miles on present oil and filter?
Are you using 5w-30 oil?
On the type of oil, you can use xW-30, where x = 5 or less. 5W-30 is good. 0W-30 is better.
A bit of an explanation about oil viscosity can be found here: (copy and paste into browser)
