Description of the problem	After picking up my truck from my local body shop on the morning of july 28,2013 i drove back to work very pleased how she looked. The truck drove perfectly fine no problems after getting off from work i picked up youngest daughter from dance practice less than a mile away from my job. An hour later i picked my eldest daughter from her job less than three miles from home again the truck drove fine. About one hour later i drove 12 miles to do a plumbing job when outta the blue the oil indicator started acting erratic it would go from the lowest point in the red to a safe level, after several times of this i pulled to a gas station and added two quarts of oil after i added the oil i checked the oil level it was at a safe level. I finished the job checked the oil level before leaving the customer home it was still ok. I got on the turnpike drove about three miles when the indicator dropped to the red line and the engine just died. I started the engine but got an god awful sound from under the hood i shut the engine off and had the truck towed home. I hired a mechanic to check the truck for me and was informed that i would need to replace the engine in my truck. Is there a recall on the oil pump or that system?
