When I start my truck, the oil gauge well go all the way to the high mark but I can still drive the truck and it runs fine. Puzzled about this. Could it be my oil censer or my pressure switch? If so what is it that I can do? I also need to know where the censers are in the engine.

You can check to make sure the pressure is within spec by using a mechanical gauge. It would plug into where the sending unit is located. My guess is that the oil sending unit is bad. It should be near the oil filter, but check it to make sure.

After thought. If you have the 3.9L V6, the sending unit is in the rear of the engine on top.
