Replying to: rob14521 (Sep 20, 2007 2:16 pm) on regular driving, the 4wd should be in 2 hi with both front hub in the UNLOCK position. When using the 4wd, lock both hubs, shift to Neutral with the transmission gear select and shift to 4 hi or 4 low. Then engage the transmission. When shifting out of 4wd, shift the transmission to neutral, then shift the 4wd lever to 2 hi and then unlock the hubs. Back the vehicle up shortly to make sure the hubs disengage and then drive normally.

#427 of 449 High oil pressure and excessive blow by gases by juggernaut2874 Nov 20, 2007 (8:41 am)
I've "inherited" a 91 5.7L manual 1500 with 215,000 miles recently. The engine and most parts were covered in caked on grease and old oil. I cleaned it off, flushed the engine and changed the oil/filter, replaced the PCV valve, thermostat, and air filter. Noticed when I started it up that the oil pressure will be at 30psi at idle and then max out over 60psi when I step on the gas. I also will pop the PCV valve out of the valve cover doing this which is why, I think, the engine was covered in old oil. No oil leaks observed yet and not blowing any blue or white smoke out of the tailpipes. Anyone know what is causing the high oil pressure and excessive blow by gases?

Replying to: wil24b (Nov 20, 2007 11:26 am) Is this a carbureted engine? My guess is the easiest way to go would be an in-line electric fuel pump and a regulator. But, depending on the application and/or pump, the pressure regulator may not be necessary. I think it would be in your best interest to talk with a professional mechanic or a performance shop, again, depending on your intended application.
