I searched this forum and a few others and didn't find an answer...could be too many beers lol
1996 K1500 with 99K miles.
I was on a trip up north of Phoenix this weekend and on the way up the mountain hills my oil filter blew off my truck(that's what I get for taking it to a shop for the change instead of doing it myself, only every paid for 2 on this truck. ) I was watching the pressure and temp gauge and everything was fine until then. I got it shut down super quick and towed to the closest city 30 miles away. Slapped on a new filter and re-filled the engine with oil and made it up to the campsite just fine, another hour or so of driving. Coming back today my idle pressure measured at 40 on the gauge and 60 under load in the highway, jumped to 65 when downshifting up some big hills. Can't tell if this is abnormal high pressure or not? Any help would be appreciated.
