Since you are in a colder weather state I'd go with a lighter weight oil than 10w-30

5W-30 for under 40 degrees F average temp if I remember right. But if thats the weather outside you should be running Fully Synthetic because I know Mobil One flows like water to -58 degrees F which will keep you snug.
I e-mailed the guy who sold me the D. This is what he wrote the oil issue did not come up till a couple days before i got it. It sat for about 4 1/2 months and he did not know when the last oil change was. He did give me a good deal...so i can not be mad lol. Well i flushed the engine and then i started it after 40 psi...for the oil pressure drove it around the block and then it went to zero again so i guess i will flush it again...

Pulled the oil pan and well.......bearing pieces in it So i will be looking for a new or find one in the yard. Hope i can find a good deal. I also called a shop today and guess what they have in getting a new motor...yeah a Durango. The guy said well i guess it is the season for 5.9s to die. This just goes to show....up keep up keep. I got a D that was not treated the best and well she....held together as long as she could. thanks for all the input guys. time to find a motor
If you pull it you can have the bottom rebuilt for about $700 bucks and $600 for new heads...... Do some custom flat top pistons, bore it 30 over and P&P your heads for a little cash and you'll have one hell of a machine.
Thing is it could be from the oil pump or drive shaft.
teck78<------- Take some pics and how id you pull the oil pan?
Indy<--------- Not going there but, I heared Super Tech is a great brand....... LOL
