Oil Problem in 89 Dakota 3.9L
Oil pump and Sending unit has been replaced, however when i drive 10 miles at a time, the pressure bottoms out like there isnt oil in there.... how can this be, clogged head or what?

also, when driving more than 15-20 miles, i think the "lifters" rattle as in they arnt getting any oil. When we replaced the oil pump it made the engine sound a hella lot better afterwords.

mobile 5000 10w-30 is what is in the truck, it had alot of sludge in the pan when the pump was replaced too. i thought about putting some of that oil thicking solution oriley sells or autozone.

in regards to the sludge found, we put risline to clean the engine out, so it helped a little.
