Whilst idling when I can see my oil pressure drop and then increasing with revs. It seems like this a common occurrence with high mileage 4.0's. I am planning to replace my oil pan gasket soon along with th rear main seal, so I thought it would be a good idea to inspect and replace my oil pump whilst the pan is dropped. I was wondering what is the best replacement option for this task? Am I better off ordering a standard replacement such as an Enginetech or Melling, or pay a little extra for the Mopar replacement? I see you get high volume pumps too... Or would you rather just leave it be!
All advice is always welcome! |

My oil pump does the same thing and it is new. If your oil pressure is over 40 at high way speed I would leave it alone.

My oil pump does the same thing, especially with a/c on in gear and stopped at a traffic light. It's also been replaced since I've owned mine.
If you're going to R&R yours, I suggest you consider Mopar parts. They cost more but were engineered to last longer than cheap knock offs. |
