new engine problem TRD supercharged
i know its not cause by it ...hopfully, but ive been runnin the s/c on my car for about 4k everythin was smooth until a nice sun afternoon drive when i heard a clunk nasty grinding and my oil light came on...im pressuming its the oil pump but wont know the cause or issue until the dealer looks at it......
... get it to a dealership STAT.. and i'm hoping you left your pulley alone

hey not defending the guy but he said "i know its not the cause"..... either way i know what you're getting at... maybe he just knew it was a good way to get people in here and reading and maybe get some advice... who knows lol

clunk + oil pressure idiot light only =......
No oil pressure BEFORE the sc....
Oil so low that the pump went dry.....
Either way the outcome is OH CRAP.
They will probably have to give him a short block, head and new sc if it was run for a period on no oil pressure.

nah oil levels are perfect double checked that.
and my idea of the title was jus that im another s/ced tc, not that that was the problem at all....even tho my charger is shot...now i know for the future, any car, any fi mods, all gauges!!
and um it helps to have friends in dealers....aka not too worried about the pulleys, since they installed them...i just swapped back the stock ones nehow. thinkin of callin aaa nowish instead of a/m so they get first thing....

Ya, having friends/family @ the dealership your work is done at is wonderfull. They just overlook any mods you may have when they work on it. Hell they even fixed my MMW s-pipe that was rubbing for me. The mechanic said he re-adjusted the mounts and everything was A-OK.
