Oil pump replacement 88 ford ranger - Ford Cars & Trucks

Its not the oil relief valve,since it only works when pressure is to high,and even then you dont lose all pressure.. look into the camshaft synchronizer having a broken drive gear at the bottom.they tend to break..working on one now that has this problem,so I know. luck to ya!

SOURCE: what type of oil goes in the 88 ford ranger 10w30?

Hi,
I generally use a 10w30 in my vehicles. If an engine has a lot of miles and rattles a bit or has low oil pressure, sometimes a thicker oil might be desired. You can't hurt your engine with either choice.
Brand is another matter... my pick, Castrol. It doesn't "sludge" like other brands... like Pennsoil.... sorry, Pennsoil fans... just my humble opinion. ha
Hope this helped

i just bought a BII with famous tick..........oil pressure light came on (no gauge). I installed mechanic gauge and showed 5 psi so I decided to replace oil pump. Pulled pan off (not fun!) the pickup tube was clogged and the was part of the timing chain tensioner in pan. I then pulled timing cover off only to find chain streched and the chain guide and tensioner pretty much gone. I think tick was chain slap..........will know for sure in a couple days.

Remove the gas tank when first emptied out. The pump is inside of the tank. Have the tank supported upon removing so the lines can be removed next then drop it down to remove the top retaining nut to remove the sender with the pump

first of all, check the oil pressure sending sensor it may be bad. next make sure it is full of oil. if its not the sensor, and it has plenty of oil, it has to be the oil pump or the pump screen is clogged up. run a mechanical test to see if you have any oil pressure. go to any auto parts store and they will tell you how to do this.
