like he said, the oil pressure sending unit was dead. That rad was bad so the temp was high.. (very bad) The stock voltmeter is off by about 1.5 - 2 volts (I have tested, mine usually rides right around the 12v line, and the actual from a DMM and aftermarket voltmeter both read 14ish.

What do you do about a radiator like that? Replace or fix?
