Low Oil Pressure warning killed the engine within 50 miles of a delete
What the title says but there is a bit more to this story.
This is within the first 50 miles of installing the GDE afterlife tune and replacing the fuel filter with Napa Gold filter. I jumped on the highway and stepped on it, got up to 80-85mph and was at 4000-4500 rpm’s when the engine turned it self off on me, saying that I need to shift my truck into park. The oil gauge was reading all the way left landing on the L. No knocking, just nothing.
I pulled over on the side of the highway and checked the oil, it was at the max line, so there is oil in my truck. Since there was no knocking and full of oil, I turned my truck back on and everything seemed normal. I drove it to the next exit and am currently am waiting on the tow truck to take it back to my mechanic. Ain’t no way I’m driving my truck with that until it gets professionally looked, want to make sure this doesn’t evolve into the spun bearing issues these truck have.
After some googling, it seems like it is most likely one of two things:
(1) oil pan dropdown is clogged and needs checked
(2) fuel lift pump is sol and will need to get replaced.
Any guidance would be appreciate
