It sounds like the Hollis, NH area is suffering from an extreme lack of
thermo energy causing your lubricating fluids to have a major rise in
viscosity.  In other words it is too damn cold for your oletruck to
function properly!

I have replaced my head about 2 months ago (216 no modifications - just add
on oil filter).  Now that it is very cold out - the truck is stored outside,
when I start the truck the oil pressure goes to just under 30 lbs.  Then
after 5 min or if I drive it 1/4 mile the pressure drops down to 7 - 10 lbs.
I am using 30w oil (yes it is SJ - Bob).  Any ideas - is this an issue?

Also, when I start the truck the 4 on floor is very stiff (frozen) then
after a few miles is becomes loose.  During this start time it will NEVER
grind the gears when I shift - but once warm I must shift very carefully to
avoided the grind.  Any ideas - is this an issue?

I hope this hits the list I am having ISP trouble again.


Thanks,
