I have the same issue with low oil pressure on my 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500. My mechanic said I need a new engine? I just need a second opinion. Please help🙏🏽
Stumbled onto this video while researching low oil pressure. I have a 2000 Silverado 2500 4x4 6.0 with 288K on it. Just got my new sending unit in the mail, but didn't know about the screen, so thanks for the tip. I'm just gonna put new everything: pump, pickup tube seal, sending unit, timing chain kit, etc., because I only want to do this once. Engine runs great, and I hope I can squeeze a lot more miles out of it. Great job on the vid.
I have a 2019 Chevy Silverado. L. D and my oil pressure is down to about 30 and when I hit the gas, it goes up and then maintain the speed and it drops back down to 40.
a real whicked wheel is brushed aluminum and it looks different. its supposed to give you more boost and quicker spooling along with a better sound. what you got was the same wheel as you took out
If its not the pump ring, the switch, filter or pump itself... there 3 things left haha its a headache. Possible cam bearing, posible cylinder deactivation solenoid gaskets and the last one... the lifters eventhough they might not make noise. You can see the lifter work after you remove valve cover and see if they are pissing to the wind.
Great inf . I have a 2006 escalade 6.0 just hit 100k miles always maintained oil change at 3k always put mobil one synthetic end just last week I was driving on cluster it show low oil compression so I stop check all oils on engine everything was normal. Took it to a mechanic he suggest to change oil pressure sensor that didn’t work so he changed oil pump & he put new engine oil he did mention that there was metal debris on pan so he got it done nothing changed engine sounds normal no weird noises oil pressure is below 12 psi any suggestions?
I have an 07 LY5 5.3 LS. At 15 years and 75k miles the oil pressure was very low at idle. I replace the little screen under the oil pressure sender. Didn’t help. So I dropped the pan and took off the pickup tube. The o ring was hard and the outer edge was flat. It did not have any elasticity. New o ring installed. Oil came right up. That is the fix in my case.
I read the comments but my issue is different. I get 2-3 seconds of no oil pressure on first start of the day, after that it's 1 second to good pressure. I can hear the rockers when no oil pressure for 2-3 seconds (first start of the day). I suspect it's the cam bearings. I replaced them on this engine. (Wow they are tough to install). Came here hoping for a better fix but pressure sure one of my cam bearings has slipped. LS engines weakpoint is the cam bearings.
If you are installing cam bearings at home, I highly recommend put them in freezer to shrink them, if you have a cam bearing installer, do this trick they will not spin again
I had a low oil oressure problem with my 09 silverado 5.3, hovered around 18-20 lbs, even on a cold morning start, twenty degrees,kinda erratic at times (a little higher)and I had read on a forum that some people have had oil filter change fix the problem,being the cheapest and easiest fix I decided to try that first,truck was not due an oil change so I changed the filter only, I was running a fram filter,replaced it with a wix and the oil pressure came back up to 40 lbs.
I have a 2013 avalanche I replaced oil pump pickup oil sensor and have good oil pressure running down the freeway if I step on it really hard and back off oil pressure starts to fall put it in neutral turn off engine restart right away oil pressure comes back I guess the next step is to hook a pressure gauge to it and compare it to the gauge on the don't know what else to do.
There's 2 versions of the CKX helmet and CKX had the quick heated goggles. The difference in the 2 versions of the CKX is back country with more ventilation and trail with the vents plugged up
the cam bearing sliding out uncovers the oil passage, letting oil pressure bleed with out going between the bearing and the cam, it just bleeds back to the pan significantly dropping the oil pressure.
There is a plug on the driver side of the engine on the side of the block it’ll be an 8 Allan key and you can manually check oil pressure from there with a manual gauge.
Oil pressure surges. Too high when engine is cold and too low when engins is warm. Has anyone solved this by changing the regulator/relief valve?I have changes the press sensor and screen. No difference.
Great review. I was looking at the CKX helmet today and also love that the breath box drops out when you want. Also agree with the comment below..there are a couple versions of the Titan - original and airflow
I have a 2011 GMC Yukon Denali with the 6.2 in it I have replaced the cam lifts rods oil pump timing chain cams trays and delete it but I'm having trouble with oil pressure now when I start the truck up and let it run for about 5 minutes my oil pressure start dropping but if I give it gas it comes back up
How low is low? Hot idle is normal to drop down to 25-30 psi. Did you replace the camshaft retainer plate? Very thin gasket there that if compressed and reused can leak oil and lose pressure. Also the valley cover has gaskets blocking off the dod oil galleys that can leak oil and lose pressure.
I got a 5.3 2002 i just rebuilt and im having this problem i i had the cam bearings remplace and i replaced the oil pump 2 times with a mealling high volume and no knocking or lifter noise at all and my pressure is above 40 at cold start and after 10 min it drops to 15 psi anyone got some advice?
As it ages it will harden and flatten and allow air into the pickup tube via venturi effect. That will aerate your oil causing all kind of problems including low oil pressure. Very very common issue.
@@walnutkraken9430 I never noticed anything on my dipstick. My main observable symptom was 20 PSI oil pressure - hot/cold - idle/3500 RPM made no difference - 20 PSI. Changed the o-ring and 50 psi cold idle/30 psi hot with pressure rising with rpm to about 50 psi 3500 rpm hot. That aeration (about 3 months) did cause a lifter ticking issue that I had to replace the lifters. If you catch it soon enough most lifter ticking will go away once replaced.
No, Not $ well spent. No Hp gains just loss of $ and no significance other than looks. Playing and just talking , do your research and actually know what your talking about other than just your personal preference for pretty colored intakes. And summit? This ain’t 1997, these kids only know wat system tells them their sitting in front of, know wat your working on and with and BUILD SOME FKN “POWER”!!!!!
Hey there, great video, thanks for taking the time to put it together. Did you happen to notice any flex to the case on the bottom? I had an HP omen 16 2023, and when I'd pick it up from the bottom right side it would pop and flex. I ended up contacting them and they exchanged it. Hoping it's not an issue with the new one. Thanks for your time.
The FAST intake manifold isn't worth the money, the stock intake is THE best manifold as proven by anyone who knows LS's. Waste of time & money. A cam with headwork on standard intake/throttle body far better money spent.
