  • you got a bad oil pump in it,try using a manual gage and see if you get any reading off it,its not uncommon for a dodge with higher mileage to loose oil pressure,i own several of them and have had to replace the oil pump in few of them already,anything over 100 thousand and the oil pumps could fail on them good luck with it.

  • Remove the oil pressure switch and connect an external oil pressure gauge if you still have no oil pressure it is a failed oil pump in the crank case, remove oil pan and replace oil pump.

  • Hook up an aftermarket gauge and see if you get any reading. It's unusual not to get SOME reading, unless you have a broken oil pump shaft, or some kind of catastrophic engine damage, but that should be obvious by the way the engine runs, if it runs at all.
