Help something is thumping.

Glad you found it while you were sitting there, that would’ve been very expensive to come apart going down the road

 

But the tow truck driver wouldn't have had to spend time pulling the drive shaft. Lol.

 

As far as oil pressure goes, look by the steering shaft. You will see two plugs on the engine block. Top plug is oil pressure sensor I think. Twist the cover off and see if oil is on the plug contact.

If so, clean it off and it will temporarily fix you're oil pressure issue. If the motor starts shutting down you can leave it unplugged and just run it while the gauge reads zero.

If that oil pressure switch is clean and dry, go to the three filter oil housing and look for the same style plug on the housing.. Same issue, same temporary fix. New switches are usually 100 bucks or less and can be switched in five mins.

 

Dam! At least u wasn’t all the way in bum freaking Egypt

 

Glad you found it. Sorry man that sucks but should be up and running soon

 

How nice of them!!
I have a 76 yr. old friend who had Aortic valve surgery, out of work 2 months, now getting evicted from the Mechanic Shop Garage he has rented for 7 years.
People suck and Karma's a female dog.
Best of luck to you!

You NOW know the way this feels when it happens.
Value added knowledge for you, without the disaster.
I feel anything like that - and I get the coveralls out and grab everything under there
with both hands and shake it to death. You'll turn up something.

 

If your oil pressure gauge reads anything but zero with the key on/engine off, the pressure switch is bad. I've changed a hundred of them. Bad design.
