Default Re: 39 pickup oil pressure fluctuation

Sure sounds like a pressure relief valve problem.like 41 ford said on up to 48 is under intake manifold 49-53 is on oil pump.The valves under the manifold have a tendency to bind causing the problem you are experiencing.i freed one up by adding a quart of mm oil and fixed the problem within 5 miles! And the problem never returned.Phil
