You gonna rebuild the 6.0?

Shouldn't need a rebuild, it lost oil pressure while sitting (somehow) and was never driven only idled, so there should be no bearing issues, and the motor itself only has 65k on it. Gonna still pull the pan and cut up the filter to make sure there's no fuckery going on, and pull the oil pump apart and see why I have no pressure.

Based on the oil that came out of the engine and the lack of any chunks on the drain plug magnet, and the fact that the only noises the engine ever made was lifter noise when it lost oil pressure, I think it's still solid. Will find out in time.

Sounds like the infamous, oil line o-ring seal messed up in the oil pan. From what I have read that is an issue. It goes south and causes air to be sucked in.

It looks like it's either that or the bypass valve in the pump. Hoping it's just the o-ring, that'll make my life easier.

Batman might be interested. It's low and with all the rust and stuff, it should be light and GREAT for cornering.

Hot rod project that was put on the back burner for the crawler to get built.

With all that cool-ass stuff in that garage, why on earth is there a huge product shot of a lame-ass Jeep Commander on the wall? :D

That "lame-ass Jeep Commander" will go places your "All-Terrain" Sierra can't.

True, after all, it's not made by GM, so it must be.
