    what is the oil pressure on idle. last time i looked at a truck that they messed up the engine brake o rings it was sitting at 30 psi when cold on idle but something is definately wrong if your truck is shutting off this would be a good starting point to check these o rings, people mess up all the time when putting them back it's happened to me a couple of times to. 55 is to low on high idle which is what im assuming you're describing last one i saw was at around 90 ive also seen them at 65 which is still ok
