    Oil Pressure Sending Unit

    If anyone could post a pic of where on the block those 2 oil plugs are, it would be a big help and greatly appreciated. I can't honestly say that I have even looked for them yet, but then again I cant honestly say that I would recognize them and be sure that that was them if I were staring...

    Oil Pressure Sending Unit

    My truck just started doing the exact same thing. Gauge has returned to normal operation but EFI Live is giving me strange readings on oil pressure.

    LLY: Oil Pressure reading w/ EFILive

    Thanks Tim. Can I pick up a mechanical oil pressure gauge at Napa? I cant imagine they are terribly expensive and probably come with hose, etc, no? How difficult is it to get to the oil pump gear? Can you get in there and re-torge the nut without pulling half the motor apart?

    LLY: Oil Pressure reading w/ EFILive

    Id like to put a mech gauge on it. But, to be 100% honest, I dont have one, nor would I know where to put it if I did. Every mod to my truck Ive done myself, other than building my trans, but Im don't claim to be too knowledgable when it comes to our trucks. I can do just about anything to...

    LB7: Lifted pulling

    I always pulled with my 6" RCD lift. I took the torsion bolts out completely and clamped the rear end. Never got much hopping except one time when I blocked the rear end as well. Up front I have the cognito braces and cognito tie rods. Never had an issue and won many pulls. Always pulled...

    What would the causes of low oil pressure be? Symptoms?

    LLY: Injector Rates

    can someone at least just reassure me that I am looking at the proper parameters?

    LLY: Oil Pressure reading w/ EFILive

    Also, why does EFI Live show Turbo Boost Pressure as ~16PSI at 30% throttle when my in cab boost gauge is showing 3-5 lbs? At 100% throttle EFI says 42lbs, my gauge says 32-35.

    LLY: Injector Rates

    Not sure if I was using the right PIDs or not. I wanted to to check my injectors so I logged "Balancing Fuel Flow Rate" on all 8 cylinders and "Injector Pulse Width" on all injectors. These are the averages I found: Cyl 1 0.97 Cyl 2 1.19 Cyl 3 -3.53 Cyl 4 -0.90 Cyl 5 3.99 Cyl 6 -0.52...

    LLY: Oil Pressure reading w/ EFILive

    On a drive down to South Jersey last weekend I noticed that my oil pressure gauge was pegged well past 120. The truck was running fine and oil level was normal. I figured the gauge went crazy. I changed my oil on Tuesday and the gauge returned to normal. Most likely coincidence. Today...

    No Cluster

    Does anyone have a place that fixes the clusters that they recommend? I see them for $400+ on ebay with no core charge or exchange. But I believe there are places that will do it for less if you send in your broken cluster. I also see that you can just buy new stepper motors, but Im not too...

    No Cluster

    My cluster has been bad for quite some time now. Just recently my oil pressure gauge crapped out. So now Im considering sending it out to be repaired. But, my truck is my only vehicle. Can I drive around for a few days with no cluster? Or will the ECM recognize the absence of the cluster and...

    Reading Oil Press.

    150,000 miles. if the pump went wouldnt that create a low pressure scenario, as opposed to high pressure? I'm just guessing here, I really don't know.

    Reading Oil Press.

    Can I read my oil pressure with EFI Live? I was just driving home from Jersey and the oil press gauge on my dash went to 6 o'clock position. Im 99.9% positive the gauge just shit the bed. My speedo shit the bed a long time ago and I never got my cluster repaired. But, Id like to know my oil...
