Is there not a safety kill on oil pressure? Of the lpop was keeping the resivour full (barely) but not putting up any pressure, then would the truck not let it start?
Byron has a buddy that owns a car repair shop. He'll borrow his otc.
Cool. Make sure that you are seeing more than 500 psi on icp pressure while trying to start. And let us know what you find.
When I first had this problem in May, the day after pump install, I put it on the scanner...you could watch icp rise slowly from 200 all the way up to 500 and then it would fire. We thought it was rising slowly because it had air in the lines or something like that..obviously its doing the same thing and now is even worse.
Since chris' truck is down I pulled the ipr solenoid off it and slapped it on mine, still no change, I'm thinking its not an ipr issue just from the sheer amount of them that I've put in the last two months.
I helped a neighbor with a truck exactly like this. If the oil was cooler it would slowly build up enough pressure and then it would start. Bottom line after a lot of diagnosis was bad pump. The guy had bad luck, original factory pump spit the guts out the back. The second pump was this one and the issues started when it died at a red light. New pump and the truck ran fine.
