All that's left is to install compressor housing and hot side charge pipe then take it for a spin motor has 10 minutes on it now

Ill get to that later. I need help !!!!! What would cause this thing to have oil pressure and then all of a sudden have none ? My oil pressure gauge is on the fritz so unable to confirm mechanically at this time I'm heading out to buy a new guage. It's all new oil pump, oil cooler cover, oil cooler, bearings everything internally anyways.Originally Posted by Polaraco
1. Low oil level. 1. (a) Check and fill with clean engine oil.
(b) Check for a severe external oil leak that
could reduce the pressure.
2. Oil viscosity thin, diluted or wrong
specification.
2. (a) Verify the correct engine oil is being
used. (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES -
DESCRIPTION).
2. (b) Look for reduced viscosity from fuel
dilution.
3. Improperly operating pressure
switch/gauge.
3. Verify the pressure switch is functioning
correctly. If not, replace switch/gauge.
4. Relief valve stuck open. 4. Check/replace valve.
6. If cooler was replaced, shipping
plugs may have been left in cooler
6. Check/remove shipping plugs.
7. Worn oil pump. 7. Check and replace oil pump.
8. Suction tube loose or seal leaking. 8. Check and replace seal.
9. Loose main bearing cap. 9. Check and install new bearing. Tighten
cap to proper torque.
10. Worn bearings or wrong bearings
installed.
10. Inspect and replace connecting rod or
main bearings. Check and replace directed
piston cooling nozzles.
11. Directed piston cooling nozzles
under piston, bad fit into main
carrier.
11. Check directed piston cooling nozzles
position.
12. Loose oil rifle plug with saddle-jet
style nozzles
12.Tighten oil rifle plug.
13. Loose directed piston cooling
nozzle.
13. Tighten directed piston cooling nozzle.
14. Both J-jet and saddle jet style
cooling nozzle installed.
14. Install correct style jet.
Obviously you can eliminate some of these.

Looks like 3, 4, or 8 I'll mechanically check the oil pressure tomorrow. When I first ran it the other day it was fine no pressure loss. Today I noticed it when I was sitting in the truck I was watching live data when I started it up and was looking through everything and looked up and 0 psi shut it off started it back up within seconds oil pressure over 40 a minute later 0 psi shut it off restarted again over 40 stayed there for 5 minutes and 0 psi again so that's when I called it a day
That almost sounds like the sending unit. But it could be a check valve, but I don't think so

I agree ill I'll check with the mechanical guage then get a new sending unit I'll let you know after I know my fingers are crossed the only other thing would be the oil relief valve like you say I'll pull it and look inside see if I can see any chunks or scratches
The valve could have caught a piece of junk from the latest carnage, the it has a pattern. I am thinking the switch is failing when it warms up. I know better than to ask, but do you remember dropping the sender at any time? Or maybe smacking it with a wrench?
I don't even know where it is!

I hope you get this sorted out. Not fun with all the amount of work you have done to your truck

Ok, no debris in the check valve it has no oil pressure none. when I remove the check valve there is no oil in the cooler cover. When I start the truck the gauge Shows 40 psi and its there for a minute and then goes down to zero while the whole time the engine has no oil pressure. I overfilled the motor by 2 gallons so it has 5 in it to see if the pickup tube may be messed up with no luck there no oil in filter Somebody help I need to know any possibilities other than what I've just mentioned does anybody have an old oil pump sitting around? Tear it apart for me and see if there is any way for the gear to spin and the pump side not to spin I just don't understand all oil gallows were cleaned and clear from debris.
ops wrong video anyways every time I start the truck it to gauge shows a little pressure for 30 seconds to a minute then the gauge drops to zeromeanwhile there's no oil in the oil filter anybody know why this is

Ok so as it stands I have ordered a new oil pump, oil suction tube and oil filter head from the local Cummins dealer it should all be here in a few days. Solve this issue right here and now I'll let you know when it's done.
