He wasn't refering to the factory, dummy guage.

He's got an aftermarket oil pressure guage in the truck.

Heres what he told me about the problem.

I have this squealing sometimes, rare tho. I also hear a slight low thump thump comming from what sounds like the front of the engine. I was told by Matt at Spartan Deisel, here in h'ville, that that was my HPOP making that sound cause it was low on oil. Which would mean the Low oil pressure pump aint keeping up. I replaced it, and it corrected it for the most part. You would really have to take a hell ride in the truck to understand. I will be glad to show you anytime. I wanna get Scuffy828 on this problem, but he needs to have the truck in his possesion to properly diagnose it.
