I think I might pop oil plug and see if it gushes out or just drizzles that’ll tell me if its stopped up correct?

 

If there is a lot of crap in the pan, that would explain a lot...... I have seen them with gelled oil in them..... so they essentially had zero capacity. (and yes, the engine was smoked.)

 

If I pop the drain plug can I stick a screw driver in it to see if has any stuff in the pan I don’t really want to wast an oil change but better then wasting a engine lol

 

Don’t they make anything that can go in motor oil and clean the jelly out? I just figured I’d ask because seafoam and mmo usually are recommended for everything lol but I’ll pop drain plug and try and get a video and stick something in the oil pan to try and see if there’s sludge

 

So I went out there poped plug nothing I stick screw driver in it and it started pouring out

 

I ordered some stuff to flush the engine stp engine flush it’ll be here Monday thank you for all your help sorry for so many questions

 

If it's that bad, I would be real tempted to actually PULL the pan, and clean it out. If your truck is a 4x4, I think you can get the pan out without lifting the engine.

 

Oh okay and yeah it is 4x4 I was thanking about running that stuff in it and if it got a lot out then I’d leave it but if not I’d pull the pan

 

Another problem I had was my reverse lights I noticed didn’t come on no matter the gear or anything the bulbs are good fuses look good any ideas I’ve herd nutral safety switch but my truck won’t crank in any other gear besides park I haven’t tried nutral? And my emergency brake light stays on but my ebrake works? Any ideas lol sorry for so many questions

 

My reverse lights don't work either, but, I haven't really dug into that one yet. The neutral safety switch is the first place I would look though.

Brake light being on may be as easy as low brake fluid, or bad sensor. (if you have one.....)
