    Hi can someone help me out,I have a 2000
    Freightliner classic with a 12.7 detroit,it's getting a code 4-5
    and I think it's for low oil pressure but the gauge is reading good
    will anything happen if I push it 20 miles to the freightliner dealer,thank you

    If your gauge is mechanical roll. If your jakes still work you are getting oil pressure.

    Yes it's a regular gauge and the jakes do work,so you think
    its just the sensor

    Yes your jakes will not work without proper oil pressure. Since you have a mechanical gauge reading correctly also I would assume its a sensor. I don't have my book on codes right now but if oil level is good I would roll.
