- 1985 jeep cj7 360 20 rear and 30 front w/warn lockers 5 speed tranny,
1971 dodge dart built 318
Had gears and rear crossmember and rear main seal done. Going in it had lower pressure, 25 ish with and acceleration gain. Now there is zero pressure. Checked with mechanical gauge.
My first thought was oil relief valve, but they didnt touch that. I had to make my own cap that is why it was a thought. My second thought was the pickup. Tore it town and replaced pickup, buttoned up and cranked a few times with hei disconnected. Then started. Its 3 am so it only ran twice for a ten second burst. Will it take a second to suck oil again? Prime pump again?
