Tachometer drops to zero for no apparent reason after a bit of time it pops back up and all is fine. Engine light also comes on and occasionally when tach is acting up the truck won't start. usually releasing fuel from the fuel filter allows it to start. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

SOURCE: Tachometer fails to work all of the time

You will need to remove the tach and have it repaired by a factory authorized service center, don't go through the dealer, they will 2X the price.

Losing oil pressure when at idle. pressure is fine when driving

A comparatively quiet engine is often a worn out engine.( Much of the knocking sound in an engine is caused by compression and expansion of gasses, which in a worn out engine is reduced due to leakage of gasses beyond the piston rings or valves.)

You will first have to have the engine pressure tested on each cylinder to ascertain the overall condition.
Usually there are one of two reasons for a low oil pressure warning light or gauge reading.


No.1: The engine is badly worn and oil pressure can leak beyond the piston rings and into the cylinder.


No.2: The oil pump is close to failing or has already failed.


There is also the slight possibility that both of these faults have occurred at the same time.
