Default Re: Newbie with tech questions. HELP please

Welcome aboard, congrats on the purchase.

1. Some fluctuation in pressure is normal, but that sounds like more than normal... how are your RPM's at each of the speeds mentioned? Those pressures sound low. Could be just an issue with the oil pressure sender unit, but you should check your oil level and quality, and watch your engine temps as well.

2. This sounds like the lift pump - it right on the driver's side firewall, and it pulls fuel up to the area of the filter housing. It will start up right away when you are starting the truck, and often it will run for a few seconds after you shut the truck off (while your oil pressure is still up)

3. Do you have the upgraded HVAC system? Sounds like you may have some air trapped in your heater core somewhere.

4. Remove the access panel at the footwell of the passenger front seat, and check the short hose that runs from the bottom of the blower motor - if it is detached, it will dump moisture on the floor. Some people leave this detached on purpose, because water can build up in the blower motor if the hose gets plugged at all, causing premature failures of the blower motor.

5. Work harder to drive that bolt out with a hammer and a punch of some kind. Tried an air hammer on it yet?

Anyway, to my questions.

1. When driving at specific speeds, the oil pressure drops to 10 PSI. If I adjust the speed to 62 instead of 65, it returns to 30 PSI. What gives?

2. every once in awhile a pump sound like the CTIS pump starts inside the dog house just behind the AC controlls or radio. It does not matter if the AC is running or not, it just does it. It will run for 4 minutes or less then stop. What is this?

3. Occasionaly, and more often in the last few days, there is a burp sound from the passanger side dash area. It seems to do it at random, and does not care if the AC is running or not. Just a short BUURRP!

4. AC seems to drip all its condensed water into the cab by the passanger foot area. Normal? AC blows cold, so it works just fine, and the drain plug lets it all out. Should I be doing something about this?

5. I have a stud in the split rim that has popped. I cannot even bang the broken stud out with hammer and chisel. Am I doing somthing wrong? I have the replacement, with nut, and penta head socket to reinstall, but am stuck at this point.

Thanks in advance guys.
