Now for another aggravating issue with my truck.... This engine has less than 2500 miles since a complete rebuild. Once it is at operating temp it will occasionally drop oil pressure. It only happens once coming to a stop or putting it into reverse and doesn't do it 100% of the time. It instantly rises back up if you give it some rpm. Oil has been changed 3 times since the rebuild and has always looked great, I'm running Mobil One 15W40 with Hamilton Zinc additive, Wix filters, and the sending unit is new. I've set my idle fairly high to help with the issue some (900-1000rpm). When cold I have 80-90psi and once warm and cruising it holds around 70psi. Could there be some trash in the filter housing that occasionally gets sucked up and blocks flow at low rpm?
