3400 Oil Pump Repacement

OHRacer · 04-13-2008, 06:42 PM

Hi All!
I am purchasing one of our old work trucks. It is a 97 T-100 with a 3400 v6 2wd ext cab. It has 200k miles but the oil pump is weak. The pressure has dropped recently and it started to tick so he took in out of service. He had it checked out and was told the oil pump needs to be replaced. Is there any information on how to replace this oil pump? It looks as if the entire front end of the motor has to come apart. Any information on replacement that you all can come up with for me would be great.

Thanks!

Oil pressure is notoriously low fer the 3.4L engine. Best thing to do is to pressure test the pump/oil pressure...stop pulling and guessing.

Ticking could be a sticking valve. Do a leak down test to make sure...
