Now I have rod knock and at low RPMs the Oil Pressure drops to 0. I changed, the oil pump thinking I had screwed it up, but it still has the same problem.

It actually remains good until the truck gets warmed up, THEN the problem starts...

Ay Ideas?? I'm at a loss. I know my way around an engine fairly well, but the oil pump is the only thing I can think of.

There WERE a good bit of metal flecs in to pan and in the sump intake screen (I cleaned it out while I was in there), could've maybe done some serious damage (hopenot, fingers crossed).

Thanks in advace for any advice.

if you hosed some bearings, you will lose massive oil pressure
