DT*: THE CONTACT STATED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED AND THE ENGINE DIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE OIL PUMP AND THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS FAILED. THE OIL PUMP IS MADE OF ALUMINUM WHICH INFLUENCED THE INTEGRITY OF THE PUMP, AND CAUSED THE PUMP TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY.
