Robbie, sorry for your loss there. That sucks.
I am wondering about the very high level of h/g issues you are seeing. 24 in two years is a ton based on this board's experiences? Just how many 80's does Slee service?? Were these all failures or are some of them preventative maintenance?? I would think a lot of yr customers would lose the h/g on long drives and not necessarily be able to get the truck to Slee to get the work done by you.
Anyway, I wonder if maybe altitude is an issue that contributes.

Robbie, real sorry to hear the engine situation. 
Not sure what to say, but sorry for the setback. We all know you will have it back better than ever super soon; just trying to see the positive in things :-\ but still this stinks!

Sorry about the motor Robbie, missed that the first read through 
. What do you think is going on? Almost sounds to me that the pump is running dry at those rpms. Is that possible? An oil return clogged?

Work hard play hard and s*** happens. I do not know what really happen until I tear into it. I do know that a oil pressure guage that is only good to tell me if I have oil pressure is not good enough. I have for some time seen my oil pressure fall off after 4k rpm and did in the past hook a guage (mechanical) to the system and I never saw it fall off. So i assumed that all was ok and worked the engine as hard as I would with the oil pressure falling off. it will not happen again. Engine still runs great, no knocks but lots of flakes in the oil filter. I was running the Royal purple with about 7k miles on it. I ahve in the past been going 10k miles oil changes for the last 16 years in my vechicles, I have worked them hard with redlines all the time. I was useing Castrol syntec 5w-50 with no problems. I will post later what I find when I tear into the bottom end. I will do this first to see what Has failed and how bad the crank is. If needed I will then pull the engine.
The pump should not run dry with 8 qts in the sump, oil returns are not pluged (fresh engine 20 k miles). Gear driven ring and rotor style pump should pump goobs( new ring and rotor) will have to hook a oil pressure guage and work the truck after.
As for the numbers we see at the shop of crusiers I would have to ask christo. Some HG problems are local ones, us catching the problem before it leaves them stranded. I have done a few HG in prepartion for a supercharger and found problems that the cooling system was taking care of because it was in great shape and was handleing it. Only a couple of HG have been cross country trips that have created problems for the owners.
I will miss the YZZB5 filter with not bypass, I did not let anything past the filtration media. It is a shame toyota does not carry that filter any more. later robbie
