What owners wrote
I entered the intersection after stopping at the stop sign. I was halfway through the divided intersection that had a road closed sign for the exit side of the intersection and a do not enter sign for the entrance side. The median was over grown with vegetation so that visibility was poor. I started across the intersection and about half way through a car entering at fast rate of speed hit the front of my truck knocking to the left.
In motion on highway, motor looses oil pressure. Oil pressure sensor and related filter already changed once, failing again.
