oil pressure

[ROX]

BUMMER!!! Sorry to hear that. (I'd send well wishes, but I might get yelled at )

My vote is the right rear axle seal.

Never stated that his did.Never stated that mine did...time to take your meds? Who knows?

Only explained
what happened to me. Hope this helps! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hmmm...? Then when you said the following what did you expect us to think?

Shouldn't you still have pressure even if the bypass failed. It started after the oil change so your filter should not be clogged up with gunk and should still flow oil and I am under the impression the valve opens as pressure builds and "bypasses" the filter. That's a quick and easy thing to check but somehow doesn't sound like it should be the culprit.

It only has 16,000 miles & the oil (Mobil 1 syn) has been changed 3 times and it's clean as a whistle. Clogging generally comes on slow with gradual reduction in psi, not sudden drop to -0-. That's why I thought the pressure regulator. It could have been "hanging" and finally either stuck wide open or the spring failed. Thanks for the input.

Our thoughts are with you LV. On the Pinzgauer, it was my oil pick-up tube that was loose..caused the same readings....

"Our thoughts are with you"??? WTF??? Are you gay or just extremely dramatic?

Lv. Good luck. with you H2
P.S. - Did I win "clogged screen" ?

If I said this, you would be correct. However, I did not.

I used "Good Wishes"

And I hope all would wish the best for Lv, right?

PS: One trip to Mexico with me and you would dump any "gay" ideas about me (fixation?)....

(ok, now you can blast away at me...I'm ready)

(This will hurt, because I respect and value your comments here too...)

The pump pick up on these trucks is bolted in two places with an oring seal on the end that goes up to the oil pump. This pump is not like the conventional back of the pan old school pump. This is a gearator pump on the front of the engine.. very reliable and always soaking in oil. If the pump went out.. it would be a miracle. If the truck is still full of oil and you have a tick, meaning no oil in the lifters... I am with parts guy.. something clogging an oil passage.

I thought the truck would not start if the ECM sees no oil pressure? Something to check out.

Hope you know your dealer.. I am seeing the "your aftermarket turbo kits taps off the factory system and that caused the failure" excuse coming otherwise.

Good luck with it.. something tells me it will end up being something simple, better safe than sorry though.

EDIT: Guess you have a picture of what I described already.. guess I should have read all the way through

[Hart1]

There is only one pick up in the oil pan, just like the H2. That goes, and the second pump can't help you. Like you stated, the second pump is really for continuing the oil supply within the motor at extreme angles, oil that is already within the motor via the pick-up tube.

Once the tube was bolted back down, all was well, pressure wise. This is my only claim.

But please, I do defer to your all knowing knowledge of things, since I am sure you have owned many a Pinzgauer, and not just relying on what google brought up for you. Thanks!

[Hart1]

Stop and go driving the pressure would tend to act as you described. However., steady driving (at higher speeds) with little stop & go, the pressure would stay constant, mostly.

The oil pick-up is the "weak link" with the Pinzgauer.

[Hart1]

No, not gay.

However, I really respect LV, he works hard on this forum with tips, upgrades and H2 innovations. He has even unselfishly offered to help me install a CD changer to work with my Nav, no small operation.

So yes, my thoughts and good wishes are with him. If it was in my power to make for a good outcome for him in this situation, I would deliver it for him in a blink of an eye!

[PARAGON]

Well, damn. Damn, Damn DAMN. This just sucks!

Is it shavings or more like broken pieces. I mean can it be some broken off part of a valve or something that's in pieces. You might have more justification for making them adhere to the warranty if you can determine that some internal part broke that has nothing to do with the turbo.

[VTSTOMPER]

Oh man Jonahs!

I hope eveything works out for you. Keep us posted, as I know you will.

It either failed or the pickup fell off. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>You're right. A loose and now detached oil pick up could have given the same symptoms. Thanks

[KenP]

This just crossed my mind and is a pie-in-the-sky thought, but can you still turn the turbo smoothly by hand? I know you had symptoms before, so like I said, PITS, but you never know. Maybe something went wrong there.

[timgco]

jonahs, that really sucks about the engine.

SO, I thought about your options. DON'T PUT THE TURBO BACK IN! you more than likely decided that already. Have the dealer put the stock engine back in with a Radix charger on it. you'll have your power and more importnatly a WARRANTY if something else goes.

Check to see about warranty with the crate engine. Will they still honor your trans warranty? Or is your warranty gone on everything?

Good luck with whatever you decide. Just remmeber, if it's broke, it can be fixed.

No no, my "spun bearing" was the winner! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I must not have read the thread to good , I thought he said that had clogged screen.
