No oil pressure 6.5
 
Got a 95 k2500 6.5 just picked up on the drive home the radiator hose blew cuz of the turbo heat ran for about 2 min after over heating got it towed and replaced all the hoses and now there's about 18 lbs of oil pressure on cold start and then 0 on warm idle if I told it at 2k rpm oil pressure will stay at 17lbs any ideas what it could be (was checked with a manual gauge)
Truck starts and runs fine has 240k on it don't no if motor was ever rebuilt I am the 3rd owner

Sounds like the main bearings are bad and the radiator hose blowing off could mean a cracked cylinder head.

If it was cracked head I would be looking oil or cooling wouldn't I?

Could be going out the exhaust and the radiator hose blowing off is a sign of a cracked head/ and or head gasket failure usually happens on the passenger side cylinder head because that where the turbo is best thing to do is go to a parts store and get the head gasket/ cylinder head leak test kit and get the diesel test fluid the gasoline fluid will not work the kit will be a loaner kit but the test fluid you will have to pay for, you still are looking at having to pull the engine to replace the bearings though.

Over heating even for a few minutes is bad for these engines.
And at 2,000 rpm these engines make 40+ lbs of oil pressure.

The hose blew up or burst is what you are trying to say?

Ok it's still a possibility that a head has cracked or head gasket has failed over heating a 6.5 will cause either to happen.
