Truck: 1993 IDIT 7.3. Ford Reman engine has about 15k miles. Good hot oil pressure of 65-70psi.
I have searched the forums, but have not found an answer to this particular question. I am aware a delay in building pressure is “normal”, but the delay I have seems more excessive. I recently installed a electric sending unit at the stock location at the turbo. If cold, the truck can warm for 5 minutes or more before seeing pressure build. If you drive after starting, it can take a 1/4 mile or so before it builds. If after driving, you stop to fill both tanks, or go into the hardware store, the pressure does not seem to leak down, and at startup its near or at its max.
Does the sending unit being at the turbo further delay the pressure build? It doesnt seem logical for the short tube run from the stock N/A sender location for it to take so much longer for pressure to build.
Thanks for all your help in advance
