Oil pressure sending units (aka: oil pressure switch in some parts stores) are notorious for failing on the 4.0 Best option is to screw in a mechanical oil pressure gauge where the sending unit is to confirm what your ACTUAL pressure is; a lot of guys just swap out the sending unit and go from there as they are relatively inexpensive.....recommend getting this part from Jeep for best accuracy/mating with your factory gauge.
