Gents,
I’ve seen a few results using search but wanted your opinions anyways.
74’ 302 suddenly having low (10psi ish) oil pressure on highway speeds.
If I take the exit ramp oil pressure goes back to 70-80psi where it normally sits.
Replaced the oil sender in 2015 (electrical)
Replaced wiring with it
Replaced oil pump and pan a few months ago (WH4x4)
Pump is not a high flow pump.
Filter is Motocraft
Running 10w30 in San Diego.
Oil level is normal.
That should cover most questions. If it is a gauge issue, can anyone explain why it would present faulty readings only at high speeds?
Any recs for a mechanical gauge?
Truck sounds normal at high speeds- nothing significant to report otherwise.
