2000 8.0 V-10 Timing Cover Shot
Drove my truck & truck camper for a 600 mile round trip over 3 days, all good every day.
Parked it, 2 hours later came out, started to move it, CHECK Gauges ding & light.
Oil pressure ZERO.
Shut it down, investigated online forums on V-10 seeing I'm really a cummins guy.
Most say try sending unit and then dropped pan to check oil p-up, easy enough.
Oil p-up was maybe 50% clogged but certainly not remotely close to 100%.
Process of elimination, Has to be oil pump, right?
Pulled apart front of motor, appears the 2 rotors jammed and then the crank spun both and wiped out aluminum timing cover.
Anyone ever see or hear this happening before?
Any where to buy timing cover besides mopar online for $600?
Mopar shows one for a 2001 but pics look identical to my 2000, what can be different?
Thanks
