A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
My truck logs less than 100 miles a year. I turn it on biweekly to ensure the battery does not go dead. The truck has run without a hitch since I bought it at a used car dealer. The previous owner took good care of the truck and change oil periodically, as required. I change the oil & filter every 12 months or 200 miles. After more than 5 years of flawless performance the oil pressure drops to 0 in idle and sets off the check gauges red idiot light, then peaks the low "L" end of the gauge with an annoying ticking sound. I changed the oil and filter and it stopped briefly but then resumed with the tick, tick, tick all the way home. "Houston we have a problem".
Whats it going to cost me to have the oil pump changed?
Is there a recall for this obvious workmanship problem.?
