I've had a problem for about a month now that when the engine revs above 4Krpm I loose all oil pressure for a minute. Usually shutting it off and waiting a few minutes works just fine. So I ignored it and said i'd deal with it when the temps got back above 40. Coming home from Midland today the oil pressure dropped and would not come back. I needed to get back and waiting for a wrecker was out of the question, so I drove it (it already had a slight knocking so I figured it was toast anyway). Well, I went 30 miles without any oil pressure with a 6x12x8ft trailer clocking at 1 ton. The thing it toast, it'd be quieter if you attached a hammer to the crank, I might get a video up later.
I'm hard on cash so unless I can get a loan, a new engine is out of the question. I'm going to get a junkyard engine and trans (my trans is busted too) and swap it in. But I dont know how far back I can go for the year. Mines a 2001, I think I can go all the way to 99 without much hassle. It's also the 318. I might get a 5.9 with a manual if they don't charge to much for the PCM.
So my second question, can I use an auto harness with a manual trans and PCM?
Thanks in advanced.
