<P>I can tell everyone how to tell quite easily as it happened to mine. From almost day one when driveing along with engine hot OR cold (it does not matter), if you slam on the brakes and make the nose of the van dive the oil light will flash for about 3 seconds then shut off. If this happens call Peter, he will send a new pick up tube to the Tiico shop of your choice and the will swap it out. As ot was explained to me basically the tube is facing backwards??</P>

<DIV></DIV>>jon,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>what does it take to identify this quickly? can you post that so we can
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>take a look before we have one of those low-oil-pressure moments? Can we
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>pull the cover on the rear of the oil pan and look in that hole to ID the
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>pickup tube?
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>Second, how would a windage tray effect this, if at all?
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>can someone take a few pictures of this and post them asap?
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>thanks
