DD15 Low oil pressure

Yeah but i really want to see if there is any underlying problem instead of putting a bandage on it. Seems like it could be a host of other possible issues. Hopefully my mechanic can diagnose it and find all the issues and get it all fixed at once.

 

Do you have a mehanic in the fontana area you can recommend? I am in las vegas and travel to so cal a lot. I hear mechanics/parts are cheaper down there. Preferrably a place that has experience with my issue, if so that would be great. Watching youtube vids etc is just making me more worried that i may need a rebuild, i dont have money for that and to sit for weeks would put me outta business.

 

Awesome thanks for the words of encouragement. Being an owner op has its benefits but the stress is always there.

 

You are the man. Thanks! If i do decide to get work done down there i'll keep them in mind.

 

Hey guys so i got word back from the shop.

They are saying the oil pump suction manifold needs to be replaced.
$480 and labor $924

Crankcase breather needs replacing
Parts $412 labor $198

Totals out to be 2251.00 after taxes.

They will visually inspect the rods n bearings only.

Any suggestions?

 

Well bad news, when they dropped the oil pan they saw coolant coming from cylinder 3, they are gonna take the head off to see where its coming from. Could be a head? Liner? Anyone have any experience with this and what happened? This is stressin me out.
