As an engine builder and mechanic, with decades of experience, I'll say the oil pump is rarely the cause of low oil pressure. Not never but rarely. (What's the first thing to get oil, so what would rationaly be the last to wear out). Most often by a large margin bearing clearance is the culprit...

Thank y'all for the replys. I'm busy at work and have been redirected. I didn't get pictures yesterday and having to take off work to make up for overtime (terrible problem to have :LOL:). I will try to get pictures of Monday, but don't know when I will get back to project.

I will take a picture today and try to send it when I get home and can get on a computer instead of my phone. I getting old and phones are too small hard to see and hard to work. Haha.

Have a xm1098 5000gallon water tank trailer at work. Has a single cylinder diesel pony motor. Cannot find id tag on motor. One of the idiots at work tried to repair the ignition swith and didn't get the wiring right. Now doesn't charge battery and oil light doesn't work. Wiring is very simple...

It has the all fuel engine , I believe that makes it an a2. We also have an a3 with the cat and allison, but that's beside the piont. Yes the gauge is in the yellow, first indication of problem. Pulley is worn out so belts wear and get loose quickly. they've been tightened. I will check the...

Started a new job at county road and bridge. They have a couple of winch trucks, one rear winch on fifth wheel truck one rear winch flat bed with ginn poles. told to replace cables, hooks just had cables run through and a knot tied in the cable. My m211 has a double nut collar connection(don't...

Had this problem on our tanker truck, local vol fire dept. Checked for wear in everything repacked all bearings wheel and king. checked all steering linkage and tire pressures. Tires looked good and had good tread. Still had problem finally swapped tires with pair from rear fixed problem...

wow quick response. Thank you, now does anyone know where I can get a large supply of "round to its"? I have plenty of time for the oil to settle, as first I need to rebuild my all fuel.

where do you find such filters? And about how much do they cost? I know a centrifuge would actually be better, but from what I've read 1 micron should be plenti useable. About how much oil are you able to filter before filter change and how long does it take? Curious as I have about two...
