It's a 2003 DII, never had any problems with this truck. Was parked at school for a few hours (it drove there fine) and when I started it up the red oil light did not go out after the self check. It's not flashing but is on.
I shut it down and started it again to see if it would build presure and go out, the lights still on and the motor seems to have more of a tapping noise than normal (might be my imagination). I shut it down I didn't even back it out of the parking space since the manual says don't drive at all with the light. Oil level on the dipstick is good.
Waiting on AAA to come and tow it to the local Indy LR guy where I'll leave it for the night. I hooked up my generic OBII reader and it has no codes.
Is the the model year with the oil pump issues? The VIN is SALTW16433A801069 if that makes a difference.
From a search it seems it could be a bad sender, a bad pump, or gunk in the pickup preventing oil flow, or maybe something else. I'm assuming step one will be to test the actual oil pressure tomorrow?
