no power!

Alright guys so I put in after market gauges today oil pressure/ temp/ battery. The truck ran great after but no oil pressure showed on the gauge and u could see the oil wasn't making it to the gauge. So I checked the oil and was a quart to a quart and a half low. Added 3/4 of a quart of Lucas engine oil stop leak and half a quart of oil. Now the truck will run but has no power under load. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
P.s. still no oil pressure on the guage...

If you don't have any oil pressure , don't start the truck , you need to find out what the problem is , pluged pick up screen & tube , bad oil pump ?? If the gauge was installed right then you have a problem , Lew
