Hey everyone,
So I'm embarking on my to-do list here soon and would love to hear if anyone has had to replace the oil pump or main bearings, and if anyone has experience with these in high altitude environments. I'm hearing some valve tap after a trip up the Rockies and suspect low oil pressure stemming from somewhere. I've switched to 87 octane since then as opposed to 85, changed the oil and added some Seafoam, but still getting some inconsistent valve tap and now the oil light is on. Any advice? Any other 88 Rangers in Denver?!
