The big issue today was no oil pressure (at least according to the stock gauge) at idle. Thankfully it turned out to be just the oil pressure sending unit. Today's problem solved and it only cost me $31!

Check out my other thread "Long Crank Time" to see me on-going issues. Thanks!

Trucks Unlimited.

I had my head studs done there.

Scott is active (or was in years past) on Powerstroke.org. Very good guy (he was a Tech at a dealership for a number of years and went independent) and good staff at the shop.
