SOURCE: High oil pressure and knocking in the engine
There is a pressure relief valve in the oil pump, it is stuck closed, this happens now and then, seen it 2 times, since the oil pump is a positive displacement pump it can produce 100's of pounds of pressure, the reason for the noise is that u have allot OF pressure but very little volume, the bearings are being starved for lubrication, replace the oil pump, DO NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK, U WILL BURN OUT THE ROD AND CRANK BEARINGS.
SOURCE: oil pressure gauge problem
Try a new oil sending unit. The right way is to hook up a mechanical oil pressure gauge and see if it mimics what you OEM gauge is reading.
