[QUOTE="KMAPRO, post: 898089, member: 58215"] I have a 2001 F-250 Supercab longwheel base 4x4 with the V-10. A word to the wise - (and I am not complaining because I love my truck...but it is for sale as I don't need a heavy hauler anymore) - if you ever notice that your oil pressure gauge starts to bounce, go and have the dealership check it out immediately. At around 29000 miles, my oil pressure gauge started bouncing but the oil level and pressure were fine. The dealership replaced the sending unit on it..two months later, same thing - replaced the sending unit on it again...two months later - yep, you guessed it...bouncing again..but this time, I was 5 quarts low of oil - 3 weeks after having an oild change.. Well, they decided to do an oil consumption test on the truck. I wasn't smoking and I had plenty of power - nothing pointed toward any oil failures. I drove the truck for 500 miles with yet another new sending unit. I was asked to bring the truck in at 500 miles and they would recheck everything. Well, at 500, it got the best of me and i checked it myself - no oil registered on the stick. I called the dealership and had them come get it - the truck was 2 quarts low and they had no idea why. No leaks, no smoke - they were bafled. The truck spent two weeks in the shop. The dealership even had Ford diagnostics on the phone trying tp figure out what was wrong. They ended up tearing down the engine to get a better look - I didn't care as long as it was covered w/ warranty and would fix the problem. Come to find out that the number 7 piston ring gaps were crossed by 1/32 of an inch. Ford replaced the long black and I haven;t had a problem since!!!! So, now I have a truck that has 35k on the body and 3k on the motor. Pulls absolutely anything that I put behind it [/QUOTE]
