Here is an interesting side note, I jump in the F-550 today, the truck I used to compare my oil pressure problems with origianlly, and wanted to compare how long it took to build oil PSI as compared to the new engine in my 2001
F-250. Sooo I'm waiting for the glow plug lamp to turn off and look over at my factory oil pressure gauge and it's in the normal range engine OFF. When I start the engine, it dips to zero, the right back to normal.
Is there as oil pump that builds pressure on the newer 7.3? I don't hear anything running, but also bought this truck used and have no idea what other mods it has other than what I can visully see.
OR
Is it back to the opening statment of this thread, "These oil gauges suck"?
P.S.
2001 F-250 with new engine running great !!!
