Oh man I wish I could hit the trails with y'all tomorrow!!!! Especially since where y'all are going is like 5 minutes from my house. Oh well, next time. I have some family coming in tomorrow. Be safe and have fun folks.
God Bless

Well, I think i need an oil pump. And that still might not save the Jeep. Might be looking at another engine. Not 100% diagnosed yet. I guess I'll be doing an oil pump next weekend. Then we will go from there.

YAY!!!!

I might be in the same boat.....oil pressure gauge goes crazy, when I got it...it stayed on zero, so I replaced the sending unit...now it reads at about 20 and drops to zero when sitting still. From what I have read the pick up tube might be clogged up. Oil pump isn't gonna break the bank I wouldn't think, it's just doing it. Plus I have a pretty bad lifter knock, but again only at idle. (< pretty common in these though)

Taht's the exact, and i mean exact same thing mine is doing. It won't be too difficult from looking under there. I've built plenty of honda engines. So, it shouldn't be too bad. The replacement pump is 70 bucks at autozone. And that comes with the pickup tube and everything. I'll be tackling that on Friday.

If I could get rid of this tire I have for sale (as a spare) I could get mine and knock it out too.

This is way off topic, but do you know anyone who would be interested in a 89 XJ? Its a 4 door 4x4 w/ 17xxxx miles on it. Its super cheap and runs great, very quite. My brother is needing, note needing not wanting, to sale it.
