I was playing around on an old farm of my late great grandmother today and I was in 4 hi, just having fun in the field, going mostly slow since the grass was so high i couldn't see any ruts or anything. The farm has lots of hills, and some fairly steep, the X was never over 15 mph, and never too tilted on the hills, but I did stop once on a pretty good slant to see get a look at the suspension flex, then started back up and kept driving.
After only about 5 minutes of driving my oil pressure dropped to the bottom, oil light came on, engine began to sputter. Got scared, stopped it, poped hood, checked oil, it was fine. looked up under it, it was dry. started back up, took out of 4hi, put in 2hi, put in park, reved it up and oil returned to normal, let it idle, oil dropped again... once the oil pressure dropped it sputtered again, and either stalled or just ran really nasty. Kept doing this over a few more hills back to the driveway, then it was fine again, then drove all the way home fine....
WTF?? anyone have a issue like this? My dad says it could have been something he called a "vapor lock" ??? don't know.
Someone please help me, b/c I supposed to drive over 5 hours tomorrow to get Greg's AC Coils and AAL and sliders!!! but don't want to drive if my X is going to die on me
Thanks for the help!
