Oil Pickup VERY IMPORTANT Post

I want to introduce this thread for good banter. I’ve found so many posts on here about trucks’ engines going belly up because of spun bearings and lost oil pressure.

I was almost one of those truck owners about 20,000 miles ago at 180k. This information is not going to be complicated. Use an engine flush like BG engine cleaner. Follow the directions to the letter. I did two flushes to be thorough.

Drop your oil pan. Clean the pan very well. Clean your oil pickup. Take your time, get all the sludge. You’re going to spend extra money on oil by flushing the engine. It’s fine, it’s worth it.

I am hoping this reaches the people who really need this. I went from zero oil pressure and panic over maybe needing a new engine to my truck running like new again. Cheers.
