Loss of power

Hi,

If the oil pressure went back to 0, it sounds like there could be a pressure issue. I say that because of the ticking you heard.

Is the sound it's making loud enough for you to record and upload for me to hear?

Here is what I would suggest. Contact a local parts store and ask if they have a mechanical oil pressure gauge that you can borrow. Many parts stores lend tools.

Once you get one, remove the new sending unit and install the mechanical gauge. Start the engine and see what is indicated using the mechanical gauge.

By doing this, it eliminates the possibility of an electrical issue causing the low reading. IF you look at the attachments below, they provide the manufacturer's pressure specifications.

Do this and let me know what you find. Also, since it happened after the oil change, just check to make sure nothing was left disconnected or accidentally disconnected such as wiring or vacuum hoses.

One more suggestion, check to see if there are diagnostic trouble codes that are stored in the truck's computer. This has an obd1 system that doesn't require a scan tool for code retrieval. Follow this link:

Take care and I'll watch for your reply.

Hi Anthony,

I haven't received anything. I just saw this now. Can you send the info the same way as you did the last one asking if I received them?

Let me know.
