60 seconds is a long time with no oil pressure. at any rate your going to have to pull it to figure ou what went wrong and see if it needs a new motor or just new berrings. if you can't get the flexplate undone pull the motor and trans out as one peice. I don't think I would ever concider spliting a motor and trans in the truck unless it was just the trans I was taking out.
did you idle it a lot? we use truck with this motor at work and got rid of them because our truck pretty much 24/7 and are ideling that whole time and they have an issue with low oil pressure at idle and we were going through campshafts and berrings left and right. for anormal person this isn't an issue, but there is a chance a rv might run into somthing like this if you idle for extended periods of time to charge batteries or what not.
Thank you for the reply - we did not idle a lot. It was actually continuous driving a solid 2 hours. The grade I was on was about 3% but it was off and on from flat to 3%. Definitely was not overheating or anything like that. I'm still clueless as to why it would just fail.
