the oil system is vital to an engine. It's like your blood. If the pressure is low enough, the engine will fail quickly. It could be a quiet seizure, or it could smash itself to bits.

Welcome attagirl. Which engine does your truck have? The 5.0L, 7.4L or 6.5L diesel? It's up to you if you want to have the inspection done. Yes, there is the risk of not finding anything. Given it's a 30yo truck, I would not want to put a great deal of money into it. Certainly not worth an engine. T...

The window vans have structural reinforcement around the windows to stiffen it up. It's a bit of fabrication work. I have s...

Could be. Search the forum there are topics about it.

Try a noid tester in case it's the injector wiring.
fuel injection balance tester may also be an option on a high level diagnostic tool.
unlikely with such low miles, but coked up valves? maybe take a peak with a boroscope.

how did you check? They can sometimes be very difficult to locate. A smoke tester is the most reliable and thorough way.

Also, did you visually confirm there is good spark from the #5 plug?

Welcome to the forum.

30psi oil isn't catastrophic, but hopefully you didn't overheat it. Even if you did, that's just a new head gasket.
Jasper and Powertrain Products have good engines. Not sure about short blocks.

By the way , please post in the Express/Savana section, not Astro/Safari. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
Hellwig makes sway bars that could possibly be adapted to your van.

Always include your vehicle info in every post please.

All engine sensors are listed in the service manual that was provided to you before. (charm.li)

Like I said, I moved it for you. It was in the Astro section.

of course, or the engine will run too lean.
