Balooning Oil Filter

[Tooloe]

ok guys just like the title says

i changed my oil today because i had noticed my oil PSi was a little high... thought the oil might be a little low.... well it was about 2 1/2 qts but hers what i'm concerned with what is making the filter baloon? at idle the PSI is at about 80-90 and WOT it pegs 100 so my question whats going on with the truck? the oil pump bad? is there a way to adjust it?

You should at least remove and clean the oil pump bypass spring and plunger as just a little dirt can cause that type to stick which can cause total oil pressure loss or a huge increase in oil pressure ( ran into this on several engines) The Porsche 924 was the worst, had to clean it about every 5000 miles.
Check for gauling on the plunger and the pump also

Of coarse there will be some oil that comes out, like changing an oil filter, some dripage.

I use the Mopar white filter with "VIPER" on it....Dodge came out with a TSB back in 07 advising not to use the filter recommended previously...I have never had a noise problem........I just wonder if the aftermarket filters are still the original design?..:dontknow:

Some aftermarket filters have come apart causing every oil passage to be clogged and the engines fried, this is really an issue with the diesel engines also. Oil filters are not created the same.
I would definatly check the filter also to see if has come unglued.

yesterday when the oil was changed the filter was just balooned nothing from the inside was moving.... i'm planing on checking the relief valve here in a little while i hope that is my problem
