I drive an 86 F250 6.9 / C6/ GV/ 3.55's. Truck has 360,000 miles but engine was rebuilt 70,000 ago. It has been doing great, but just lately it has began taking several seconds for the oil pressure to come up on the first start after sitting a few hours. I have mechanical oil pressure gauge. I use Baldwin oil filters. There has been no change in engine performance, noise or running oil pressure. I'm wondering if there is some kind of check valve that can fall out and allow oil drainback after it has been sitting a while? Any ideas?
BTW, I'm new over here, been lurking for years but I've been on TDS for a long time. I'm a diesel mechanic and maintenace manager for a trash truck fleet.
