you need to take it to a shop and have them test is with an analog gauge. If you have hit 0 PSI for any ammout of time you are doing MAJOR damage to your bearings

Any of em.
Crankshaft, connecting rods& wristpins, camshaft.
If you get a knocking sound, like you might occasionally get starting after it sat for a four day weekend, that lasts more than a few seconds, shut it off. Period! Do not run it until the problem is corrected.

Forseti,
Like you I'm helping Ol Jon come up with a solution to his problem.
I suggested he go to 10 pounds because I was thinking it related to this line of conversation.
As to the products; how about because I am passing on my story in hope it'll help someone else save a buck and get better performance like I did. I happened to do it with the 'A' product but, hey, I'll credit Dodge too!

shatto,
will a shop test the pressure for me? is it supposed to be 20ibs at idle? mine now reads like 45ibs when i start it then goes down to 20ibs after it warms up. does that sound about right?
