Squeaking Sound Coming from 225 /6

You know i got to thinking about this thread while im bored at lunch. What if it has nothing to do with oil but a faulty oil sender. And the real problem is a bad alternator. You say the car bogged down and squeaked after revving squeaked again. If the alternators toast and you broke a brush would that not cause squeaking and not running at 14v or so the car wont run the best. Id pull the belts like suggested and see if the squeaking continues. Or could be a water pump bearing if you have just water because remember coolant not only cools the car but lubes the pump. Just a thought.

That’s a good thought. I had an issue just a Month or so ago where my car overheated and blew a radiator hose. New hose wasn’t put in, and topped off with mostly water and some coolant. I think, no joke, the pep boys that did that all for free used just tap water which might have messed with it (the minerals etc). This gives me another thing to check for. If it’s not an oil pressure issue (the wire from the sender broke immediately upon moving it at all, so a resistance issue would be expected, resulting in a turned on oil pressure light) as indicated by the mech op gauge, then maybe it’s an oiling issue from the rockers. If I discover it’s not that, maybe it’s accessories, and if it’s not that, then water pump might be the thing.

Thank you for that idea. I will definitely Be looking into it.
