Hi, I have a 94 Dodge RAM 1500 2WD 5.9L Truck with 189k miles. I have had problems with the oil system over the last 7k miles. Pressure drops, engine tinging sound BUT the oil cleaners have worked. Today, when accelerating from a stop the truck shook violently and there was a loud metal/metal sound. I noticed that if I accelerate very, very, very, very slowly (which tends to piss the drivers behind me off) that once I reach 10mph, I can accelerate all I want without the shaking/clanging. Does it sound like the oil pump is on its last thread or is it something else? Thanks! Chris
