[@robsnodgrass915]

Thanks again Rob. As usaul your better information than two guys talking incoherently with a professional camera man filming them.

[@celticdude4686]

Thanks for the heads up. Good to know.

[@CUTTERUPROB]

You bet

[@Gunbanter]

Great info

[@robertwinterstein6690]

Was it the shaft in the rotor, on your bad oil pump that burnt up the Wagler rod and if so would you recommend brazing or welding?

[@CUTTERUPROB]

the shaft spwas spin on the gear so it was a press fit issue, but i will be welding the modded oil pumps from now on

[@shannonstratton3164]

If I put the 6bt pump in a 4bt the pump casting doesn't sit tight against the block face, does a spacer need to be made to take up that gap? Thanks.

[@CUTTERUPROB]

The pump shouldn’t seat on the flange it’s to seat on the inside of the block

[@usewhatyouhave6975]

Can you run a 94 and latter oil pump on a 1991 12 valve?

[@CUTTERUPROB]

Yep. Just make sure the oil pan have clearance

[@usewhatyouhave6975]

Awesome thanks man. Getting hard to find part listings in Canada for the 1st Gen trucks!

[@jpop2499]

@@CUTTERUPROB Hey Rob, what is this about oil pan clearance on VE engines using later style oil pumps?

[@radspeed3133]

So i have an 05 5.9 that runs less than 40psi at idle and just over that off idle at temp. Would that be weak pump or sludge? 266k miles on it going to do timing cover seal and main just thinking while I’m there might as well do it. Not sure if it’ll make a difference though.

[@CUTTERUPROB]

thats enough at stock rpm range. but if to replace the oil bypass valve and the pressure relief valve that will lots of the fix a low oil pressure

[@timothymroberts2949]

Good information

[@CUTTERUPROB]

Thanks

I’ll be running a compound on my 98 12v cummins and I was thinking about getting HV oil pump, is there a specific brand or a place that you would recommend? Regards from Florida!

[@CUTTERUPROB]

I like the melling oil pumps myself or a Cummins pump

[@robsnodgrass915]

@@onemanoperation5459 not to differ from Rob's recommendations, but I have found great deals on Cummins marine parts from Florida boat parts suppliers during winter. Couple years back I sourced my 12v oil pump for $38.

[@jesserasso1042]

What about the milled down 8.3l one that pdd sells that's a good one

[@CUTTERUPROB]

they are one of a few

[@Mechanickirk]

What's the part number of that VP44 oil pump?

[@CUTTERUPROB]

i am not sure off the top of my head, but any 12v oil pumps company call high volume is a vp44 pump

[@BackCountryWrenching]

can you run a 12v oil pump in a 4bt without issues

[@CUTTERUPROB]

you can if your planning on having compounds, by pass filter and oil cooler. have to watch you do you don't move to much oil

[@jesserasso1042]

Oops sorry I should of watched the rest of the video 😂

[@CUTTERUPROB]

no problem
