Question Early 99 no oil pressure in hpop reservoir!!!

ok the other day i was driving along and noticed my op gauge on the dash drop to 0 and the dummy light came on.. me knowing the truck wont run with out op drive home. i replaced the op gauge switch and still read zero so i put a manual gauge on the hpop res. and started the truck, it stays at zero... im at a loss here on this thing. i have changed the oil and filter thinking maybe the filter collapsed and it still reads zero. if i rev the truck up to 2k it reads 5 psi but anything below that its at 0, idk what to look into from here. all info is greatly appreciated. TIA!

Sounds like a broken LPOP...

There is another port down by the oil filter, check the pressure there.

well testing pressure from the plug on top of the HPOP resivoir is pre HPOP. so if the resivoir isn't even getting oil how can the HPOP get oil to the injectors? i'd say LPOP.

hmmm. there was a similar post on this site a while back. on the inside of the front cover there is a plug that actually fell out causing the no oil pressure problem. that post was on the old bodies tho. but it could be your problem. but don't quote me on it.
