Hey,
My 2.5 duke siezed on me, but before the oil gage was reading little to no pressure but every time i have her running before she died she wasn't making any bad noises i was running a slightly heavier oil in it becuase she is an older car, the gage did seem to read bad after i did an oil change but every time i checked the oil in that three week time fram it was perfect no mettal flakes no water and still looking clean, so i assumed that my sensor went dead since it had done that to me 4 moths previous, and sadly heading home from fun with friends she decided she wasn't going to work any more so I was wondering if you have and schimatics for taking out the old dead 2.5 and instaling a new one i happened appon. If so and you do have them in any of your "caves" may i take a peek or maybe can you e-mail them to me
I have only had her for three years too, ran like a dream and i can't brin my self to junk her.
Please respond. or e-mail me at AsylumEscapee@hotmail.com

Welcome to the Forum
I know its too late now but it could have been a bad filter.
Try posting in the Mall. Cant really help you with the swap but if you have a place to work and the tools it should not be too hard.
Try the search and you will find lots of information about dropping the cradle.
Good Luck
HTH

I really don't want to drop the cradel, i know i can pull it out teh top and would like to keep it simple.

2.5 out the top is not difficult, can be done in a weekend. pix in the link below.
while youve got it out, consider checking/replacing oil pan gasket, tranny seals, clutch, timing gears.
