hello all, recently my truck has been running good but after its at operating temperature i would stop at a light or a stop sign and my oil pressure would drop almost to zero and the check guages light comes on. What could be causing this to happen? Also after i drive it even if its a few miles, when i start it, when it cranks it cranks extremly slow like wah..wah...wah...wah then fires up. what could be causing this also and are these problems related? I have no engine lights on and its a 96 k1500 with the 5.0L. Any input would help me out alot thank you.

 

A little history on your engine...
How frequently is your oil changes?
What filter and oil you using?

I was thinking your oil filter is beginning to clog.

 

i change my oil every 3000. i had the spider injectors changed and while my mechanic did that he changed the oil and i never asked what oil or fiter he used. but that was about 1000 miles ago and it just started this week

 

Change the oil with some heavier stuff and see if that helps. If it just started after he did the change I bet he used some crap oil.

 

Easy enough, thanks ill get it done tommorow and let you know if it did the trick
