yeah that tube, its leaking from there, and from somewhere else too. new pump is squeaking already. im pretty pissed about it. now i have to take another couple hours of my time to do it all over again.

at least i dont have to tear as far in as i did before.

 

sorry about that, left the 'puter on and logged in, and my buddy decided to have a little fun with my account, at your expense, merc.

Last laugh it's on him though, he's driving one of those damn chevy trucks that looks like it's constantly smiling all the time. I'm waiting for it to break down, then I'll leave him stranded, staring at that goofy *** grin.

I've edited the old post, if you and zman edit your quotes, it'll be gone.

 

well some bad news......

other than the leak there is a new problem.

starting the truck this morning there was a loudtick/knock coming from the top end, i added a quart of oil, cause it was about a quart low. sound went away after a little bit.

after that truck ran just fine, plenty of power, and everything.

pulling up to the light at work, my check gauges light came on, and my oil pressure gauge read 0.

pulled into the parking lot, and parked, shut the truck off. i waited a few seconds, and started her back up and the oil pressure was back up to normal.

did the same thing coming home, dropped to 0, shut the truck off, restarted it and it was fine.

could it be the oil pressure sender, or the pumo, or what? i dont have a mechanical gauge to check it.

if i can find a gauge, where would i plug it in?

any helpt is appreciated, thanks guys!

 

I'd replace the sender first.

 

yeah think im going to do it anyways, i unplugged it when i did the plenum, and i know i plugged it back in, im thinking i hit it with the intake manifold when i was putting it back in place.

 

Could have dropped some crap in the valley that was missed during clean-up. Worked its way to oil pan and is getting caught by the pick-up. When ou shut it off the suction stops and it falls off, only to be sucked up again at some point when running.

 

So should i replace the pick up or just drop the pan and clea it real good? Or would a good oil change fix it?

What do yall think?

 

Warm it up a bit. while it's still hot, drain the oil and let it drain for a few hours. Put a quart of Rislone in and 4 more qt's of oil. Replace filter obviously.

 

picked up a qt of rislone at advance amazed that it was only .70 cents more than a qt of mobil super 5k. gonna drain it tomorrow after i get out of work. until then ill just pray.
