I was looking online about the oil pressure issue i am having and on one of them it said that if my truck was overheating(which it was) and then you lost oil pressure(which i did soon after)then you may have cracked the block

I was driving and it was over heating(i never let it get to hot, i turned it off befor it got to high)

Then once that went away i lost oil pressure.

I replaced oil pump and oil is good but my coolant might be mixing with it. the seems to be turning black fast but i ave not run my truck for more then 5 min and my oil pressure is still zero

 

that sounds like a head gasket issue...and the Magnums do have a rep. of the Heads cracking...not the block...but if oil looks like chocolate milk/ mud then this would rlate to head/head gasket

 

did you ever check the sending unit like we were telling you in the other threads?

 

? previous post, is there more info in the other post

 

i was just wondering.

And i think im getting oil now, befor there was no exhaust smoke because it wasnt burning oil, but now there is exhaust smoke now that i replaced the pump, but no pressure(or at least it says that. i may go get a guage this weekend to read the pressure)


And the oil seems to be turning black/milky which could be from cracked block or heads and the oil and coolant mixing

 

dont run it ifthey are mixing. get it diagnosed, you dont wont to hurt it further.

 

It's the head gasket or a cracked cylinder head....Dodge blocks are bullet proof.

 

^What???!!

 

yeah i had a few posts about what was going on with my truck about the oil with no pressure and what i did to try fix it.


I think ill check the heads in the morning, ive tried to avoid it it been like 10 degrees this week.

I have not driven it far after the new oil pump, i took it out of the garage drove it 3 houses down and backed up to the garage and its sitting there

 

definitely check it with a mechanical gauge before you go any further.
