when i am pulling a trailer and the engine is running at a high RPM (going up a hill) the oil pressure drops to 0. i stop and shut off the engine. when i start back up the pressure comes back and stays up until the engine runs high rpm again. does anyone have any idea what the problem is. thanks for the help.

Blocked oil pump screen! My 92 has had this problem for 2 years. Replaced the oil pump and cleaned the valve train but the crap still is working out. Try this: if you don't want to drop the oil pan spray carb cleaner at the oil pump screen thru the drain hole. Don't fill the pan with carb cleaner; my mechanic says it will destroy the bearings. After washing the screen run kerosene thru the oil fill and out the bottom. Any sludge blocking the screen should be apparent in the drain pan. Don't run the engine with kerosene in it!
