we went in committee, down to WH1 and back to committee. We also fished the river and caught a few trout.
it really is a cool area to wheel and explore.

next time this should be the trail for sure. The river flows can be scary as hell but for whatever reason they’ve kept the lake full and the flows next to nothing so far this year.
Fordyce Lake on Friday
This makes the “party side” comments way more funView attachment 346094 AMerica !!!!Great trip @skunked sucks my blazer wasn’t able to make this trip but had a great time spotting you guys awesome rigs good times !
I’ll update this thread with the oil pressure issue. Pulled the ORD crossmember, oil pan, bell housing cover, exhaust, skid plate and the skid plate frame/transmission crossmember. Oil pickup was sitting in the pan as expected. Tomorrow a new pan, oil pump, pickup, oil pan seal and dipstick will be here.
We had a field service mechanic in the company I work for once that had oil pressure issues on a Dodge V10. Some how he figured out if he put like 5 gallons of oil in it then it was ok. He drove it like 80 miles like that to the Dodge dealer to get it fixed. You just needed lots more oil.
I guess at the lower RPM's and level ground, there was enough oil in the pan for the pump to pull in oil. At the higher RPM the oil was leaving the pan faster and dropping the level. I think it's interesting it worked at all without the pickup tube on the pump.
Did you pull a few caps to check the bearings?

He said they was no stripper decoration in the filter.
Ya but your right there and for piece of mind to know it didn’t hurt it.
