You guys...suck...lol
You let me down for once! []

We got it, changed the oil pressure switch, checked the oil. Well see how it does tomorrow.

Thanks again for all of your advice!

 

its after 10 on a tuesday and you expect me to be sober???? WTF

 

Cmon guys, a little mechanical common sense here. If the truck is rattleing at idle it is not the sending unit!The rattle indicates low oil pressure and the loss of pre load on the lifters.
possible causes can include stopped up oil pickup, faulty oil pump, mis installed rocker gear, mis installed cam saddle (ohc) worn main bearings or rod bearings. Or if your lucky it could be a faulty relief valve in the oil filter. Is it A new oil filter?

Last time I checked, lifters do not "rattle" due to a lack of oil. They sure will tick bad though, this is why I asked the question if the engine sounds bad when the oil pressure "drops". The answer was no, engine sounds the same. Based on that my feeling is the rattle is something that was not installed properly after she had her head work done.

You very well may have the faulty issue in your massive list of things that could be wrong. But how would you feel if you had tore down anengine to fix a problem that was 15 minutes and $30?

 

That's true 94rt10ohio

 

I wouldnt be throwing parts at it unless I knew for sure what the problem is. Even a 30.00$ sending unit can be verified with a mechanical gauge before spending money on a part.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong....

 

It may be cheaper to buy a sending unit than buy a mechanical gauge to check it that you may never need again, and probably couldn't find next time it comes up 15 years from now.

 

Hey, it matters not to me, its not my truck. If she wishes to throw parts at it untill the end of time it will not make a difference to me, so rock on "shotgun trouble shooting" will eventually fix the problem. If enough parts are changed, you'r bound to hit the faulty part eventually!

On another note, a bottle of Rislone is a good investment, if having the heads off broke lose some grime that is now clogging an oil passage.

Okay guys, after what you guys said, my uncle said the same thing. So, I DID go buy the switch and so far..it WORKED!!

It hasnt done it once today.

The rattling, is the A/C compressor, my dad thinks its about to go out, so, hes going to start looking for another one.

 

Well.... How about them apples
