My 95 D1

oil light comes on at around 20 min run time then it starts making the
noises. It must be the oil pump ( Go figure)
Try and get one without losing your first born!!!
Does anyone have a line on these and how much?

If the oil light is coming on after 20 min (just as the oil is thinning out
as it warms up!) and you are also getting noises, then I'm afraid the damage
has already been done. Replacing the pump will only pump the oil more
efficiently around the now-worn engine, won't generate any greater oil
pressure if the bearing clearances etc have opened up.
Give us a clue as to exactly what engine you have as there are 2 different
pump types. You say it's a 3.9 but is it a serpentine belt (flat,
multi-ribbed) front end or a plain v-belt?
Sorry if above isn't what you want to hear, truth hurts sometimes. The oil
light on these engines comes on at only a couple of psi, too late to prevent
damage.
