Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My 01 5.2l dodge ram 1500 keeps showing
the check gauges light. I have seen no

on dings twice and immediately goes off.
Any suggestions or ideas.

This could be your Oil Pressure Sending Unit going bad, or a low oil condition. Is your oil low? Does the check gauges light go off when you push on the accelerator? Check these things.
