My son's 1997 Dodge Dakota Sport V8 stalled on him going down the road. The oil pressure gage shows the pressure drops to -0-. We took to a mechanic who put on rack, ran 5-10 minutes and said the motor is "history" - Said needs new motor and to get a crate 318. (We are talking $3500 labor/material). After many tears, I had car-tinkerer neighbor crank. He said motor just sounds too good and runs too easy to be bad. He said he "hears nothing". He suggested a sending unit. Obviously we need a 2nd opinion but I am very scared to get hopes up. Could neighbor be right. Can whatever instrument the mechanic uses on a rack "think" the motor is bad when it is ok?
