Why would your truck's oil pressure drop when stopped at a traffic light?

Answer 1

Did yo replace the oil pressure sender?

You did not mention any thing about your truck making a nockingnoise when the oil pressure falls.Take note when it falls and iftheres a knock. A hot engine willproduce lower oil pressure than acold one. Oil gets thinner whenit's hot. The hotter it gets thethinner it gets. You could haveexcessive bearing ware thruogh outthe engine or even one bad bearing. That would cause low oilpressure. Only way of fixing it isa engine overhual. But if your engine does not knock I would runit as long as i could. Also checkthe oil and make sure you don'thave any metal shavings in it. Ifit doesn't then run it with a little heaver oil. Also sounds like your engine may have been overheated at one time this has an effect on premature bearingware.

It's the basic concept, the faster the rpm's the more oil flow you need. You said it was a Ford? Most fords after 87's have started tuneing their engines and oil pumps to operate with one another, meaning the oil pump isn't needed as much when its sitting at a standstill. Since the engine is just at an idle, yet when its in neutral the idle raises a bit more since its not in gear and isn't being bound up.

if the oil pressure does this whin the engine worms up and not when its cold then you need to replace your inserts and maines as they are worn, the inserts and maines is what holds the oil pressure in the engine.

It is time to upgrade you child’s bedding from their first set of baby bedding. There are literally thousands of ideas going through your head, as well as your child's, as to how you want the bedroom to look. Allow your child some say in the color or theme of the room. Make him or her feel they have an important say in their next step of growing up. You will find your child is more confident sleeping in a room he or she has had a hand in decorating. Here are a few simple steps to help guide you and your child in selecting the right bedding:

Step 1: Choose a basic color scheme. If you are thinking about painting the child's room, let him make the color choices or at least paint one wall which does not have to be all one color. It can be several different colors. From this, you can choose the colors of your bedding and furnishings.

Step 2: Decide if you want to go with a bedding set or make a mix-and- match style. If your child likes a more classic look, he or she will most likely be more drawn to soft colors and traditional patterns. If they prefer a more modern look, they will be drawn to bold stripes, bright colors and/or patterns and want very little clutter. If they like themes, it is simply a matter of which they like best such as princesses for girls and superheroes for boys. Some kids might even like a little bit of everything.

Step 3: Choose sheets that will be cool and comfortable for your child to get a good night’s rest on. A high thread count is a good idea, as these will wear better and last longer.

Step 4: Do not bog your child down with a lot of blankets, as this makes it difficult for a child who is just learning to make their own bed. A simple comforter or duvet will work just as well as several blankets in keeping your child warm and cozy.

Selecting kids bedding is actually quite simple if you start by looking at the correct size of bedding and choosing colors or themes that you and your child both like. Make sure your child is happy with the choice, so you don't have them wanting to change it immediately. After you have chosen the bedding you like, it is easy to add extra touches such as lamps, pictures and all the other little decorations that bring the room together.
