97Dak low oil pressure

From : braveheart

Q: i am original owner of v6 with 120k miles. use 10w-30 mobile-1 since 200mile mark every 4k there after. oil pressure drops to left hash mark at idle after 30-40 minute warm-up. i thought sludge may be built-up using bilstein engine oil flush at jiffy lube did not help. guessing now the main bearings are going bad. anybody got some ideas for this dodge truck man .

sure about 200-250 dollars to have the oil pump replaced!! cheaper if you do it but nasty. i am original owner of v6 with 120k miles. use 10w-30 mobile-1 since 200mile mark every 4k there after. oil pressure drops to left hash mark at idle after 30-40 minute warm-up. i thought sludge may be built-up using bilstein engine oil flush at jiffy lube did not help. guessing now the main bearings are going bad. anybody got some ideas for this dodge truck man .
