    The oil gauge dropped to below low. And when I restarted the truck it went back to above halfway

    Usually that happens with a blockage. When was the last oil change?

    sounds more like an electrical issue to me.

    Been busy studying for tests but I am going in today to get the codes read. I drove it for a bit with no problems and then it felt like something was resisting when I was braking. It was weird because it went away in the next 15 miles or so. I replaced the front brakes probably 15k ago and the rears about 1k ago. I'm not good with the technical stuff really so hopefully the codes will tell me something. I checked out the serpentine belt, no slack or anything from what I could see. Undid the grounds to see if anything could be causing a bad ground. Nothing. Terminals were tight and had solid contact
