Re: [Chrysler300] 413 oll pump



Bob,
My H developed low oil pressure and high temps intermittently and  
drove me bananas. It turned out to be the instrument voltage regulator  
which provides power to the temp and oil pressure gauges. My temp  
would go up, my oil pressure down. I replaced the radiator, fan  
blades, water pump etc trying to get the temp down because I thought  
the high temp was causing the low pressure.
