I got slick stuck on some ice this morning,,, I put it in 4 wheel drive and it took and I was going nowhere fast,,, I put it in into forward and backwards to try to get it rocking back n forth… I finally got some forward motion and I put the footfeed to the floor… I got out and then my truck just died.. it took a few tries to get it started again… I noticed on the way to my sister in laws funeral that my oil pressure was low,, it would go to practically zero oil pressure when I was at a stop light…. I went and got the oil changed after the funeral thinking it might be dirty or broken down oil… my pressure did go up some,, but now I hear a tick tick ticking… I don’t know if it’s a stuck lifter or what. I’m not overheating, my temperature level is good. Does that sound serious to you guys?? I know a few things about cars but I’m not a mechanic.. lol.

No oil pressure and a ticking is a serious problem. Eric X2 To the OP , how much oil pressure do you have now ?

How cold was the engine/oil when you "put the foot feed to the floor"? How cold was the engine/oil when you "put the foot feed to the floor"? It had been idling for about an hour.. I got up early to warm it up and to wait on the school bus with my granddaughter…we sat and waited for about a half hour and no school bus.. so I wound up taking her to school and then I had to really bust my chops and get a few traps checked.. I’d say it was pretty warmed up

Put in a quart of trans fluid but don't over fill.......I heard you can run all trans fluid for some time to clean the engine.... That may very well help a stuck/plugged lifter, but if its spun a main bearing that won't do anything good. OP, is it a deeper knock, knock, knock sound or a higher tick, tick, tick sound?

It’s a high tick

Did it have oil in it before? How long since you checked/changed the oil? I check it every other day because it does have an oil leak. I really don’t remember when i last changed the oil. The blasted oil mileage sticker never stays on my windshield . but I went and got it changed today .

High tick would tend to point to valve train issues, not main bearing/crank issues. If you over revved it, a push rod may have bent. Lots of things may have happened.
What kind of truck/engine?

Correct. I concur. That's a good engine.

The blasted oil mileage sticker never stays on my windshield . but I went and got it changed today . Put a pocket notebook in the console/glove compartment and write down the mileage and date it was changed. That's what I do when I change my own.

Does flooring it make you stop spinning the tires in IL? Asking for a friend that is going to drive through there.
