Jeep oil pressure gauge

Do not let this problem persist. Fix it immediately. When I first got my 87 Grand Wagoneer, the oil pressure gauge had a ground loose, so when I turned on the car, the oil pressure gauge pegged out @ 80.

I did not think anything was wrong, other than my oil pressue was high. I knew I was mistaken the day the rod threw. I had only owned the vehicle for 6 weeks when it blew up.

A $12.00 part ended up costing me $2300 for a new 360 ci motor. :tears:

FIX IT RIGHT NOW!!!
 
SJ-vintage 360's had lots of oiling trouble, didn't they? Or am I thinking of the larger AMC engines?
 
I have a 91 Jeep Cherokee limited with 4.0 high output engine. My daughter
drives it now. It has about 160,00 miles on it and still runs strong. I have
experienced the low oil pressure problem also. A quick replacement of the sending unit switch fixed the problem. I 've done it twice.
