Just a funny story today. Driving on the highway, I look down at my gauges and ... Oh Poop! no oil pressure. The truck is till running so I cross my fingers hoping that the oil pressure switch for the EDIC will cover my but and shut down if the pressure gets too low on the way to a gas station.
I pull into the next as station and, because I have a small rear main leak, I grab tow quarts of diesel oil. I put one in and check the dipstick. Still a little low, but not full so I put in a second. Full.
I get back in the truck and drive away. I am getting back on the highway and am still waiting for the gauge to move at all. I am late so again, I put my faith in my EDIC Low oil system, and drive to my lacrosse game. The whole time, no oil pressure on the gauge. The truck is driving fine and cool, no roughness, knock, change in turbo sound or boost. I wonder if I am full of oil and the pump went bad, maybe its just the sender, or the gauge, but what if the sender for the EDIC Low oil system is bad too. Fingers crossed I get there fine.
I check under the hood when I get finished with my games and the sender connected came undone due to rubbing from my oil return line from the turbo. Still full of oil, but with no gauge movement, I get home fine. Now I need to just find out if the sender connection broke or just came undone.
Just one of those 'that could have been so much worse' moments.
