Hey Gents,
Got an oil pressure demon need some advice from the pros
2004 5.7 Hemi
81k miles
Owned the truck for 2 years
Regular oil changes I don’t drive the truck often as I drive service truck,
HERE GOES
recently my oil pressure gauge would drop and “check gauges” would come on
Shut truck down restart and gauge comes back up again for a few miles and again “Check gauges”
First step changed oil pressure switch
Same results
Put manual gauge on and start truck
Oil pressure starts at 25-30
Gradually slips down to 0 over about a minute
Turn truck off and back on same thing
So question is where to go from here, will change oil filter tomorrow and re check
But what’s next ?
Pick up screen in pan ?
Spun bearing ?
No noises or ticking
Revving engine does not make gauge move
Any help would be appreciated
