- 79 CJ-5 w/258 3 speed it's pretty much stock, it also has a 7' snowplow, 88 Chevy 1500 w/350 and 4sp manual, this truck is like new with low mileage, 04 Chevy Venture with 6 cyl, 05 Ford Focus ZX5.
I am a new member to this forum and am glad to be in this. I'm having a problem with my '79 CJ5 with a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . It has a oil pressure gauge that isn't electric, instead it has a plastic oil line that runs directy to it. Recently I've been noticing that as I've been driving it, the oil pressure drops. The longer I drive it the more the pressure seems to drop. I have always changed the oil at the right intervals and I don't believe that I have a sludge problem. Can this be an oil pump problem, I thought these pumps either worked or not, so I'm not sure what is happening with mine.
Any ideas!
Thanks,
