Oil Pressure gauge Needle Problems

I have a 2005 F-250 powerstroke 6.0L
I have noticed that my Oil Pressure Gauge needle is pointing straight down when the truck is not running. When I start it up it will go to about the L on the gauge. The gauge is still working but it starts in the wrong spot.
Any Ideas of how to fix this??
Thanks
Bob

I took a look at them.
What year truck do you have and were you able to mount the gauge?
