My first visit.
I have a 1983 ford f250 with a 6.9L, 146,000 miles on motor. My problem is Low oil pressure at idle.
While driving pressure is at 40, when i come to a stop (facing uphill goes to 0 and Downhill goes to 20) Level ground stays about 10 or so also noticed when driving pressure changes a little when going up or down a hill but not as bad when stopped. This morning i started it up and the pressure stayed at zero until i gave it a little gas then it came up. truck seems to run good, no smoke and oil changed every 3000 miles. I run delo 400le 15/40. Not sure where to start thinking the pump or pickup tube maybe, the problem just started a week ago no problems before that. Thanks for any help
