Changing my oil pump for a high volume pump but my question is how do I prime the new pump so I will have pressure?

 

The procedure is ridiculously simple..... you pour a bit of oil into the top of the pump before you install it.... that's it. I filled it up, turned it a bit (backwards, so the oil would get into the gears) added a bit more, and installed it. Pressure came up almost immediately after startup.

 

Sweet thanks. Pour the oil into either hole?

 

I use this tool to turn the oil pump to pressurize the oil system when building or modifying a motor. Its handy to have and works on most MOPAR V8s:

Okay so my truck is showing no oil pressure do I have to give it some time or what?

 

Update I brought the rpms up a little the oil pressure went up but then back down

 

Shouldn't take more than a few seconds to build pressure......

 

What about the rpms thing

 

This is really starting to worry/**** me off...
