      Brother these are the comments I like to hear! Its so motivating when I hear that a video I made really helped somebody out. This is the reason I originally started this channel! I know videos like this dont really pull subscribers or anything but if they save people some time and money then I'd rather do this than the vlog stuff anyday!!! Of course Im still going to do both though,lol.

    I just did this on my 07 tahoe. It has a pain squeezing my hand behind that heat shield. I lost some skin but a doable job. I would suggest removing the vap line on both sides as I snapped my off because of it was constantly in the way. I was able to salvage it but it added another 30 minutes to my fix. Thanks for the video.

    Hello I have a 5.3 2013 avalanche I replace oil pump with high volume pump I replaced pickup tube and I replaced oil pressure sensor and filter I hooked up an external oil pressure gauge on the side of the block where the oil pump is cold start I had 80 psi warmed up to 210 and idled at 59 psi if I have this kind of oil pressure why does my oil pressure in the car say I have no oil pressure I have noises in the motor no ticks at the lifters runs smooth and lots of power any advice at this point would be good thanks.

  • @Sherman62

    The intake is smaller on the older trucks, so it is not in the way as much, but also does not flow as well. Then there is the rear shield.... That thing will be coming off or at least getting a trim at the first opportunity.

      If you have verified oil pressure with a mechanical gauge as suggested in the video, and have checked or replaced all three items suggested in the video, then your gauge is most likely faulty.

  • @TexasDragRacingVideo
    @TexasDragRacingVideo 6 лет назад +5

    A very common, known issue on GM trucks is the DOD solenoids leaking, causing low oil pressure. I have seen brand new trucks with very low oil pressure. The fix, at least for me, was to do away with the DOD all together. Now my 210,000 mile Silverado isles at 50 psi and pushes close to 70 psi cruising down the highway.

    • @BadLuckGarage
      @BadLuckGarage  6 лет назад +1

      yea I keep waiting for DOD issues on this one. No real oil pressure issues yet but I may do a dod delete and put a small cam in soon. This one has over 100k and has always had great oil pressure. 👍🏻

  • @TheCandoheavy

    • @BadLuckGarage
      @BadLuckGarage  3 года назад

      If it doesn’t then you may actually have a real oil pressure situation! If the the pigtail still doesn’t do it then I HIGHLY suggest checking your pressure with a mechanical gauge before driving the vehicle anymore.

  • @diverbob8
    @diverbob8 4 года назад

    Rather than bad luck, you were quite lucky that it was the sending unit. Most of the time, it is the crap under the intake manifold bleeding the oil pressure away....I'm living that nightmare now...well for the last 3 weeks and counting!

  • @dwjw1
    @dwjw1 5 лет назад

    I have a 2007 Suburban 1500 5.3 L vortec which has a similar problem. It had trouble with oil pressure reading low quite some time ago, but it also had the AFM issue and I replaced the lifter a couple of times before I decided to buy the kit that replaces the cam and puts a new cover without the AFM stuff on it. When I finished it and got the PCM re-written, I was able to get the vehicle started and after awhile it ran well. I took it for a drive and it had several codes so I reset them and drove it some more. The codes did not return.
    Then I began to get P0521 error codes. The oil pressure is 40 psi at start up, revs to 80 psi or so and when hot it appears to be around 20 psi at idle. So I put a mechanical gauge on it which showed 36 psi but some air was in the line, too. The point was that the pressure was there just as the other gauge indicated. That made me decide that the sender must be the culprit and I replaced it. Alas, I had similar problems to get it out, but the worst came when the new one slipped out of my fingers and onto the cover plate under the intake manifold. I finally gave up trying to retrieve it and removed the intake manifold - it was stuck between the foam and the edge of the manifold.
    Now I got it all back together and started it - works like a champ. Took it for a drive - no error code. Fixed! Wrong! I took it for another spin a day later and sure enough, the error was back! I hear no clicking or engine noises that indicate low pressure, the engine gauges say the pressure is there, but the PCM says that the voltages are wrong. I checked the voltages between 2 and 3 and between the pins to ground. 0 volts all around with power off and 5 volts from 2 to ground and from 2 to 3 with power on. 1 and 3 to ground are both 0 volts as expected. Unless I got a bad sender unit, it should be ok. So what is it?
    If I pull the timing chain cover and replace the oil pump, nine chances out of ten there will be no improvement in oil pressure.

    My Sierra lifters tick only when the truck is idling. But when normal driving etc. the ticking goes away. I'm thinking it could be the oil pressure sending unit. But I don't know how to diagnose.

    • @BadLuckGarage
      @BadLuckGarage  5 лет назад

      The symptoms I mentioned in the video are usually a dead giveaway but the best way to know for sure is to unscrew the sending unit and use a mechanical gauge to check your oil pressure.

    I just bought a 2011 Silverado 5.3 with 80,000 miles on it. I was driving it home and the oil pressure was at 40psi, and about 20 monitors on my way, my oil pressure dropped down to 20 psi and slowly went down to 0. I pulled over and shut it down and started it up and then continued home. It stayed at 35 the rest of the way home. What do you think? I’m thinking it is probably the sensor. I’m not sure though. Oil is level is good.

    • @BadLuckGarage
      @BadLuckGarage  5 лет назад +2

      While 20psi warm seems low, it is still well within GM specifications. As an engine wears, bearing clearances will increase and will cause oil pressure to be lower. As long as it increases with engine speed, 20 psi at idle is acceptable.

  • @tylerpage163
    @tylerpage163 4 года назад +1

    I have had 3 oil pressure sending units in my truck never fixed the problem. Called my mechanic who got info from a retired gm master tech. If your oil pressure sending unit does not fix the problem you might as well replace the pick up tube, pick up tube o-ring and your oil pump. I say the oil pump because there is a spring regulator inside it that gets wore out and starts sticking. And the other problem people have is the pick up tube o-ring. I dont believe there is really a cheap way to fix this if your sending unit is not the problem. My mechanic said this is a 12 book hr job on my 2010 Silverado so either bust your wallet out or dump the truck!

      I’ve actually thought about just buying an LS2 block and pistons and transferring the heads, crank, rods, etc over from this LC9 and deleting dod and running a stage 1 BTR truck cam. Then throwing that in the Avalanche for some more pulling power for the big family hauler. It really wouldn’t be that big of an undertaking and would basically be an LS2 at that point but with a tad more cam and a way better intake manifold. Who knows what might happen in the future. 😉
