Could be your oil pressure sensor going, does the idiot light
come on only when you brake? I had the same problem on my
96 Dak

i already changes the acending unit thing and it still happens and there is no noise. the pressure only drops when the engine is warmed up and im at a stop but when i get on the gas the pressure goes back up!

if your pressure drops to nothing and your light comes on,you have serious problems. get it checked via a mechanical gauge at least, and like yesterday!

Mine did that. The whole no pressure at stop then a some pressure at high rpm's. Lasted a good year now the engine is in the back of my truck. Bummer!
Like people said drop the oil pan , either clogged screen or bad pump.
Good luck!

At warm idle, my 4.7 drops to about the low end of the "normal" range of the gauge, then up to the high end at anything over 1000 rpm. Is that a screen / pump problem in the making?
