Re: NF65 new lwb build

Your not enjoyin' that truck are ya???
The drop in oil pressure is normal for a chevy engine , they have a gear pump and its pressure curve is not linear and at idle it is common to drop to 15 psi or so
watch the guage when you let off the gas cruising the press will jump up a couple of pounds when the engine unloads (the crank is close to the top mains under deceleration.
Also NICE to see the smooth gentle hand on the shifter
Down there where its warm all year you should be able to run straight grade CF-2 30 engine oil that might help if you have oil consumption problems
