Thanks for the advise.
I came home after work and started it up. It would actually get a lot worse after the initial startup and it got worse quite fast. Within a minute it was ticking fairly bad....I could tell I had a problem.
So I had stopped by the stealership on the way home from work and grabbed an o ring for the oil pump pickup like I had read about on some other posts.
I jacked up the truck and got to work pulling the pan. Its a ****ty job under there. Pan and pickup have to go in and come out together so your literally working inside of the oil pan.
Pulled the pan and found the problem. I had unintentionally chopped a good section of the o ring off and it was inside of the oil pickup tube causing what I would guess a massive air leak on the suction side of the oil pump.
This was all speculation at this point though so It was clean everything up, install the new o ring and put everything back together.
New oil filter got installed, pan got reinstalled, oil drain and feed lines reinstalled.
Filled her up with 5 quarts of 5w30 and turned the key......
Within 5 seconds the motor was dead quiet. I could instantly tell that I had fixed the problem.
So onto other things, I put it in gear for the first time and it moved on its own power about a foot forwards and a foot backwards.
Tonight should be more testing, leak checks and maybe even see if it will go down the driveway.
So relieved at this point though.
