Get it out of your head that your problem is at all related to oil pressure. It is not. In fact, as others have suggested, you probably don't have a low oil pressure issues at all, but if you do, that's absolutely NOT what is causing your engine to stall.

Please tell me how in your little mind that low oil pressure will stall the engine and jump starting it gets it running again

THEN see what the truck does.

I'm not even going to waste my breath on the BS you spewed about the older blocks being softer

thank you

I just bought the truck a couple months ago, have drive it around a little bit with no insodent. I knew the battery was bad and would have to jump it to start but ran fine after starting. Tried to go some where on the interstate and not 6 miles down the highway I started losing oil pressure so i pulled over and the engine died, I have a towed to the local ford dealership and they if the battery was bad enough it could kill it even while running(I know the alternator is fine), so I had the battery changed, started fine, took off again, didn't get much further, same thing happended. had it towed back, left it there over night, drove it home the next morning, had to take it out the next day to jump my car that some one let the battery die in, I got to where I was going and got the car started and by that time I was losing pressure agian, so i turned it off and left it there. talked to a local mechanic, he said worn bearings in the engine, too much clearance and the oil can just pass right by(I know now that the older blocks were made softer and tended to show wear after 120000, so if it is that the bearings are worn it is the right time in the mileage). I'm wondering if Its worth trying to use a heavier oil or just start over and look for a different truck. If it is worth it what weight of oil should I use, and with winter coming up am I going to be able to drive it with the heavier oil, if not is it because the oil will be too cold and thick to start? if so can i plug my block heater in and will that keep it warm enough to start?

Thank You

Now if your battery and alternator are working properly and your oil gauge is going haywire before it shuts down, then you either have an electrical issue or a bad oil pump. I'm not sure how common it is for a truck to have low oil shut-off, and you haven't mentioned any sort of horrible engine noise, which if you truly had low oil pressure and kept starting it you would definitely hear. So that leaves electrical issue. I would guess that it is a sensor, once you reach normal operating temp, it trips and tells the ecu to shut down. There aren't too many sensors that could cause that type of reaction either. So i suggest you go buy a manual and a voltmeter and start testing each sensor one by one. It isn't that hard and the manual tells you exactly how to test each particular sensor. Most likely it is one that the others mentioned because they know more about your truck than I do. Instead of the sarcasm you should be grateful that the people on this site gave a damn about your problem and tried to help. good luck with your truck
