i know the sensor is back by the distributer, but what hoses.. im pretty sure tis just wore out oil, when the trucks cold, i have great oil pressure..

when it warms up, everything thins out, it goes away.. the oild gettin really dirty anyway..

im going to run the long life stuff, with the larger filter, and im goin to run the bottle of stuff to top end renew stuff.. maybe it will clean it out a bit

Screw a mechanical gauge into it, and see what your oil pressure is REALLY doing. The dash gauge is about as accurate as a blind man with a shot gun.

What are you talking about hoses? Never mind, don't check the sending unit or plug , just replace the engine. And make sure you use the same sending unit on the new motor,
