New to me M1165.
No blow by, no leaks, runs great. Cold start oil pressure is 30-ish PSI, once warm at idle it goes down to about 10 PSI, give it gas jumps right up to 30 PSI and holds while driving until you stop and go back to idle. Is this normal or should it be cause for concern? I've downloaded the TMs from the TM section of Steel Soldiers and am slowly trying to teach myself how to read/use them and understand the info contained in them. Would the hive recommend a new gauge and/or oil pressure sending unit? I have plans to keep this truck as original in appearance to the USMC truck it is, so if I get new gauge(s) they will most likely just be new old stock surplus equipment.
Thanks for any input.
