Very well explained video for people like me. I’m capable of doing a lot but half of these videos they don’t show you from the exact start. Or they don’t explain themselves they use words like “this thingy” or “remove this and this then boom you’re done”. Thank you for this!

I just did this on a 4 wheel drive, i was able to lift the engine enough that I could drop the pan an inch or 2 and was able to just get the sump tube bolt back in without dropping the differential. If you could modify it to make the bolt fit the other side it would make this job easier. Placing a rag in the pan saves you needing a magnet to retrieve it since its so awkward, and it helps to have long skinny fingers.😊 Let the silicone dry for 24 hours helps keep leaks to a minimum upon completion. Thanks for sharing.

Make sure to check your oil pressure sending unit first. You can test your oil pressure and if it’s above spec you’ll know it’s the sensor and not the pump. At 1000 Rpm minimum is 9 psi at 4000 rpm it should be minimum 24 psi

Keep in mind if it’s a 5.3 they are notorious for the pick up tube o-ring going bad. They crack at some point. Not if but when. You only need to drop pan to replace it. On another note. If you’ve run any type of engine cleaner other than injector cleaner you may of created sludge in the pan. Such as if you used seafoam in the oil vs the fuel additive it will clean your engine so well that you will have sludge built up in the pan and decreased oil pressure. You will need to drop pan to clean it not just drain the oil.

Now it’s says low oil pressure. It would go up nd down nd when idle it will drop . any ideas of it ? Nd idk why but knock sensor light keeps coming on after replacing em can somebody help me out on ideas?

Its called the pickup tube,not a screen. And if it was a 4x4,you have to either raise the motor or drop the front diff and in most cases lower the rack,because of a metal line that is about a quarter inch below the pan. It actully hits the pan more than the diff. I just pulled a pan today on a 09 and i could have just lowered the diff instead of removing it,if i could have seen that line on the rack first. . But i think if you just lower the diff and the rack, you can pull the pan. The diff will only lower about an inch because it hits on that part of frame that the center cross beam,(that you have to remove) attaches to. Some older models,are different where you wont have a problem with that metal line.

As the engine ages, the tolerances are not as good as they once were. Oil pressure gets reduced in the motor. First do a flush with a cleaner and maybe a little ATF 1 quart drain and refill with a wix or equivalent oil filter. Next try the O ring in the pickup tube. That could be damaged... more likely is if about 10 yrs old. Finally, all else fails, get a Melling high volume oil pump. Those come witj springs to increase pressure too. Remember to center the pump with shims and prime the pump when installing. That doesn't work, check for lifter issues or possible rod bearings going out. Replace those or save up for a new or rebuilt motor.
