    Now the oil light And buzzer is coming on at 1200rpms and above so #### annoying! Could it be that I got a bad oil pressure sensor again I just put a brand new one in from caterpillar but they sold me a dorman brand.

    You should get oil pressure fault code along with light coming on. Are you getting a fault codes? If so, look @ snapshot and check what oil pressure is or when light comes on intiate a snapshot.

    Hook up your scan tool and check pressure when low oil pressure warning comes on.
