Interesting oasis report!

[HVAC SuperTech]

ok, this is interesting...I had an oasis report pulled. Seems my truck is a texas truck. Its an early 99, and by late 99, it already had an engine in it. claimed to run rough and idle hard. found a bad injector in it, and also found a piston ring broken and cyl walls scored beyond repair. They replaced engine and it worked ok for a short time. Later on, found little things like glow plug relay not working. But then found all glow plugs bad, and the valecover harness broken, and shorted the IDM. They replaced the IDM and harness and number 3 and 5 injectors again. Then later on, found bad injectors and replaced the engine due to customer complaint of running badly, and rough again. This time they put in a reman engine and that was the last time it was at the dealer. And that was way back in 2001!! Man, did I buy a lemon????? UGH!

Makes me even more depressed about my current situation and problems with it!

How is it running now?

Like crap. I have 2200 PSI HPOP on stock setting, tow setting, I only see 1000PSI. Low engine oil pressure, not due to pump, just put it in. Idles funky. Bad dyno numbers. I dunno what to think!!! Oh, I think I may have lost a oil seal ring on my turbo shaft, I am now hearing metal on metal with the turbo comp wheel. I am afraid to look. I just rebuilt the turbo a month and a half ago.

Wow. Just.. wow.

First, fix the turbo.

Now, on the engine oil pressure.. what psi are you seeing at idle and under load?

[HVAC SuperTech]

when its warm I am seing around 10 PSI. Under load, I am seeing between 20-25. Wot the same, 20-25.

How are you taking this reading?

[HVAC SuperTech]

aftermarket gauge in cab. I ma taking readin from the back of the engine next to the bellhousing on the drivers side. theres that plug there ya know?

[Dirk]

I've only heard rumors!

By any chance have you added extra oil in the pan to see if your pickup tube if hosed?

[Dirk]

Last thing I can think of would be seriously worn bearings. Clearance is what builds pressure.

Or the check valve in the oil cooler.
