How long should it take for the oil pressure to jump to 60psi? Mine sits
for a few seconds after starting at 0. If I kick the throttle a little it
seems to come up quicker. When it comes up, it pops up quick, it doesn't
rise slowly. I was hoping to get some advice on this before I started
throwing new parts at it.
Also, I noticed that my shimey on the highway (45+mph, starts at about
47...) could it be related to tire size? I have one of those driver
created crash box transmissions, but it also sounds like a cold stone
grinder. So I can hear everything going on. :)
During the hop it seems like there is a corresponding change in the cold
stone grinding noise coming from the transmission, almost like its
loading/unloading.
Have any of you ever driven an m35 with mismatched tires? Could it
possibly cause this shimmying or would a mismatch just cause constant scuffing?
I'm going to try to look at the tires closer this weekend. I drove a
blazer with a 4.3 and it felt like a rocket ship. My lead foot needs
retraining. ;)
