Well done video. You did not waste my time and you got right to the point. While I have been working on cars for 50 years I always go to the manual and internet for info on jobs I have not had to do. Well done. I am not a patient person.
Hey bro I don’t know if you’ll see this but thank you for this video. It’s pretty similar to a Silverado which is my truck the one I’m gonna change the oil pump on. I’m 16 years old and this is gonna help me a lot, I’m not trying to spending $800+ for someone to do this for me when I can learn to do it myself and it makes me more independent I guess! Thank you I’ll update you on how it goes!
yea i get to all my messages. thanks brotha TS.. 16 and doing this is wonderful.. if you have any questions.. reach out and i will help the best way i can.. please keep me posted thanks again.. you are the future..
Great tip on the support braket for the other side of pick up tube to the oil pump. I already installed my new pick up tube, gm performance oil pan and my new melling oil pump. But no worries, thanks to your vids I still can install that new braket if I need it.
Thank you for sharing your installation and part number for the improved performance o ring brace. I’m going to install one of those o ring braces on my Silverado next week when I replace my oil pump.
Thank brother, very helpful. I dropped the oil pickup bolt w/oil pan still attached. Then just put the bolt on other side. Saved lots of time and headache..
Dude... l´m dealing with an oilpump on a v8 Trailblazer myself right now and came to RUclips to look for a video for not messing anything in the process; couple hours ago l went to Costco and saw the same hat with the lights that you´re wearing... you just got another subscriber. Great video btw.
I did a c6 oil pan conversion on my tbss. New pickup tube has the mount bolt in the front facing hole. Making oil pump replacement easy. Also the c6 pan save the bearings on hard launches. Drop the rack on one side to swap pans
yea i went with the baffle install, if i was racing, i would of done the c6 pan.. what did you do about the 2 bolts that hold part of the compressor to the pan?
@@Coverman66 the a/c bracket(billet aluminum) is from leftcoast32 he is on the tbssowners.com site, he also sells a aftermarket crossmember that sits under the oil pan
Heck yeah.... Bet that took some patience, lol. I got the same Improved Racing brace on my lm7 w/new oil pump. It really made me feel better having it when I bolted the pickup on knowing that I lowered the possibility of pinching the O-ring. Well worth the 24 bucks!
Terry! You are back. I watched your LY6 video a year and a half ago and bought a L96. Yesterday I installed the cam. Today I removed the oil pump. Took me all day. :) I hope to be on the road by year end.
I got a 2012 suburban.. lifter knock but not at all times.. mainly when off gas, when throttle down or revs up no ticking, let off gas and ticking occurs
T Martine, What size engine is in your Mercury mountaineer? I could look it up easily but if it's a certain engine that I think it is I could just tell you cuz I've done many of them
coverman66 2007 tahoe 5.3. Broke tensioner and ate the face off of the guide then pumped pieces of them and some metal shavings, from chain rubbing on metal bracket, through the motor. So no longer a timing chain job but a full on rering job now. Found the heads to be cracked between valves on a few cylinders so waiting on some replacement castings. Original ones that cracked were 799 castings so going to throw a set of 243 castings in and hope for another 150k out of it.
Ermias Asghedom i ended up lifting motor and lowering pan a bit. But there was more damage than expected so motor is out and getting freshened up now. Just waiting on new head castings at the moment.
Huge fan of your videos. Got a few questions. Will a high volume oil pump, pump out the oil pan too quickly. I’m thinking of installing a Melling high volume on a 2012 suburban with a 5.3 liter. It’s got 130,000 miles. We have replaced the lifters, and all new gaskets and seals. We replaced the o-ring on the oil pump, but we only get 17-18 psi at idle and 35-40 psi at highway speed. The lifters will get a little noisy when the car is parked on a slight uphill grade just idling at 500 rpm. We did replace the Vlom as well with a new sending unit. What are your thoughts. Thanks
Hey Bud, have aN 07 TB SS AWD . Do I have to pull the front drive axles Etc in order to drop oil Pan enough. Doesn't look like I can get all the bolts without more disassembly. P.S. Doing all this in my single stall apartment garage
tip top channel,replaced lifters cam oil pump etc etc 15 thousand kilometres ago BUT the pickup was filthy and its now blocked up a lifter and its tickin its damm head off ,ive changed oil and filter three times and tried different weight oils all the way up to 40w70,im thinkin i should go the other way and try a 5w30 synthetic ,i really hope the lifter will come good ,LS1 in a Holden or you fellas call a Pontiac GTO ,any advice greatly appreciated mate

i fixed it terry,haha i took my old oil pump and cut it with a cut off wheel down to where there was nothing but the small piece left that bolts to the pick up tube,then i bolted that back on the tube then the gap was on the back side but i was able to take a pair of channel locks and squeeze it together like 10 times or so then i bought a roll of gasket material and made a gasket,put black silicone and sealed it up with a red o ring let it set a few days and i was so nervous this morning i filled it back up with oil and turned the key and bam,oil pressure lmao i was so happy i could have teared up with joy that i didnt have to tear the whole thing up.take it easy dude see ya later alright.hope this helps others,always take a mirror and look at the back for a gap alright.later
Hey Terry, How you doin' ? I have an LY6 and would like to upgrade the stock pump to a higher volume one.. Please help a buddy with the top Brand and part #? Have a Good One! Bader
My 08 yukon has 216k it makes no ticking or knocking sounds but is puffing a lil smoke on start up idk if i should put money into this engine or just save up some cash and buy a reman!! Last year we drove it from Detroit to Orlando with no probs!!! What would you do T with a 216k engine???
How did you install it on this one from there? The factory gaskets have rivets on the top that have to be drilled out to remove the gasket. Im just trying to figure out if i can get away with doing this on mine without dropping the pan because i have a lift kit on the truck that makes it a huge job to get the pan out.
@@Coverman66 just completed the job. Didnt fix so I'm guessing I have bigger issue. Have ticking and low oil psi. Like 10 to 15 idle and 15 to 20 driving but gets lower further I drive.
Nate smith it also could be the wrong o ring, that has a lot to do with it! I read to see if it’s the o-ring is to over full it with 2 more qts and jack the back of the car up, see if the psi goes up. Not 100% sure though
dropping the pan is the only way, on that olds i would raise the engine enough to drop the pan and change the o ring. remember is the pan gasket is new you should be able to reuse, if the rubber looks flat, then replace it..
@@Coverman66 its been a few months since seeing this video lol but I rewatched it!! Why cant we just remove the pil pan to get to the oil pick up bolt?? Cuz the subframe gets in the way??

Did you just tight the bolts on the pan or did you add a little bit gasket silicone
a lil silicone in the corners where the caps meet the block.. not too much but use a nice amount

so you dont have to replace or add sealent to the oil pan gasket? asking because i may have to change mine out. any info is appreciated.
if you are opening it up a lil reseal the corners.. but if i always change mines esp with high miles on them..
I have a question
If your pick up oil o-ring going out and you keep on driving it Could it mess up the engine.
i would change it, low oil pressure will damage your engine.
Is there a special way the gear on the oil pump needs to be positioned or lined up
just put it on and bolt it down.. you should be fine..
I'm doing one on a 4wd 1999 1500 is there a way to get around dropping the pan. Front diff is also in the way
i iwsh i could say i know of one brotha. if you find a way please let me know.. to get to that tube bolt its hard without dropping the pan.

How do you prime it
the oil pump... you could unhook the fuel line and turn the engine over a few time..
I thought it was better to use a high pressure than to use a high volume. What do you think?
it all depends on what your doing with the vehicle.. you cant go wrong anyway you choose.
What do u think about the btr stage 4 cam in a tbss
depending what you are doing with the vehicle.. stage 4 is a great cam.
