89 Dodge Dekota low end knock/oil pump!!!
Hey all....
Thanks for your time!!! I have a 89 Dodge dekota with a low end knock.... The engine is a 3.9l The engine has had a rebuild about 700-1000miles before the knock! when i start the engine the oil pressure gauge stays at low or verry low when idling... If I give it gas (AROUND 1500+ RPMs) The knock goes away and the engine sounds tip top but the oil gauge slowly jumps around between half way and low!!!! The truck has set for at least a year since i got it..The knock is worse when I 1st start it!!! After running for a bit its not as bad and it some times goes away!!!(FADES IN AND OUT) when I put it in gear the knock is gone???? Can some one give me ideas on what is going on??? How do I change the oil pump????Do I have to pull the motor??? Can some one give me some steps??? Thanks God bless!!! Last edited by The_last_regulator; 01-26-2011 at 02:39 PM.

Re: 89 Dodge Dekota low end knock/oil pump!!!
replacing the oil pump is not to hard to do, once you prop up the engine and remove the oil pan. I fear you have a bigger problem, i.e. the engine needs a rebuild. Your main bearings are what generate your oil pressure.

Re: 89 Dodge Dekota low end knock/oil pump!!!
Well the catch to this story is- The engine was fully rebuilt and the guy who worked on it said that at 500miles the engine needs to have everything re-torqued and oil changed....The people who had it before me did not do this...they said that one day it just started knocking!!!
