Gonna be doing the same soon. Central Wisconsin I have a 2005 Trailblazer 5.3L with 228k. Still runs butter smooth however when it's freezing and below freezing the oil pressure drops. I've replaced the oil pressure screen and sensor however it drops quick when the oil is cold. Soon as it warms up in that cold it slowly drops if I don't have a rev up to 1k or higher. But when it's 40°F or above it's fine. Being that the fresh oil that is in the truck as I replace my oil every 3k. The pickup tube has to be the issue. The colder it is the harder it is for that oil to go up and if that o ring is broke or in the way obstructing it when the oil is cold that being the problem is the most logical issue since it runs and holds pressure fine when it's above fridge temp outside at idle

Great video!! Was a little intimidated by the job, but not now. Question about disconnecting the coil packs. The mechanical action of the engine is the same when the pistons fire as when the don’t, correct? Are you doing this to limit the rpm’s at start up to prime the pump? Do you do this every time you change your oil? Just curious.

@whiplashtv2022

2 жыл бұрын

If the vehicle fires up and has no oil pressure then it will make many many more rotations with 0 oil pressure than if you prime it with no fire. No I don’t prime after every oil change because I don’t change that o ring every oil change. When you change the o ring, there is the chance that it gets caught, ripped, or doesn’t seat just right so you are not just building oil pressure, you are also verifying the fact that you will actually make oil pressure when you crank it.

I have a video on the channel of when I installed the Melling 10296 hphv pump on my CTSV. It is relatively easy but the front end of the motor has to come apart for the install. I wasn’t going to do that until I put a different cam in it. If I had forseen the sludge issue, then I would have purchased a new pickup tube because that would have been easier than the thorough cleanup job that I did. As shown in the video, I soaked it in hot dawn water for hours and blew compressed air through both ends. So I did the best I could. Cleaning the outside does help to keep sludge from coming off of the pickup tube and getting sucked back up inside. Cleaning every surface as good as possible and keeping that junk out of the bottom of the pan is important.

Were you loosing any antifreeze from your reservoir? My 2000 Silverado 5.3 was and I found out the heads were cracked letting antifreeze mix with the oil.

I replaced the heads and pulled the pan and there was enough of that goop in the pan that my truck would only hold 5 quarts to fill it to the upper mark on the dipstick. just curious.

I disconnected it to be sure that the engine would not fire while I primed the oil pump. There are different ways to keep it from firing, but that is the method that I chose.

I’m working on a Gen V L83 and suspect the same thing, except it doesn’t have an o-ring, it’s just the metal pickup tube into an aluminum housing. I suppose it’s supposed to be a tight fit but it’s got a couple thou wiggle room to it. I am curious if it’s the cause of my low oil pressure also. If an aging o-ring can cause aeration I am wondering just how little air is necessary to ineffectualize the oil pump ratio producing the target oil pressure.

@whiplashtv2022

Жыл бұрын

The newer Gen V trucks run a much thinner oil. They run 0w-20 instead of 5w-30/10w-30. Y’all can call me crazy, but in the Gen V L86 that we had, I ran thicker oil. I am not sure how low of oil pressure you are seeing, but if it was mine, thicker oil would be a consideration of mine. Disclaimer, I in no way will be held responsible for that, and do it at your own risk and research. I had no problems with it though. I have yet to hear about Gen V oil pickup tube Oring issues. Maybe the oil pump is going out or you are seeing some bearing wear causing your oil pressure to go down…just a couple thoughts.

Yes it could if low oil pressure and flow is making them noisy.

I changed mine, while replacing leaking pan gasket. at 272k, the inside looked really good for mileage. Cleaned every thing including pickup tube and screen. Put every thing back together, waited 24 hrs for gasket sealer as per recommendations. Filled with oil . unplugged coils and no oil pressure at all. BRIEFLY started to a noisy engine which confirmed no oil pressure. Any ideas other than pulling it apart to confirm o-ring wasn't damaged ? I am an autobody tech , with mechanical training. I followed GM service procedures and did not use screw to force the tube in ect. I am surprised and confused. Could the oil pump lose enough oil in those 24 hrs to hinder pump from priming?

It should get prime back and show 3-5 psi on a scan tool while turning it over with coils unplugged. Since it had prime and some oil pressure before, I would be pulling it back apart and inspecting the oil pickup and o ring just to be sure that the o ring isn’t damaged or crooked.

Since the rack and pinion needs to be dropped from it's mounting position to do this repair, did you have to get the front alignment done? Or is it fine to just bolt up it back up?

I got the same truck as you do and my oil pressure seems to be fluctuating I'm gonna start first with the sensor and screen in back of the block by the firewall and if that doesn't resolve the issue then this will be my next step I'm hoping it will be I only have about 122000 miles on it so fingers 🤞

I meant the oil sending switch or sending unit it's in the top rear of the motor behind the intake plenum I've heard those can go bad but that there's also an orifice lil tube screen looking thing that you pull out and replace and that might solve it idk but dosnt hurt to try

I got a question hopefully you see this. Got a 2011 Silverado 5.3 with the DOD. I replaced timing chain and oil pump year or so ago. And now out of no where when I start the engine it goes to roughly 20psi, then starts to go down till 0 and the display says shut engine off low oil pressure. You can turn off and start right back up and it goes back to 20 then slowly goes down. The truck never knocks at all making me think that it does in fact have oil pressure. Would this be the oil pressure sensor/switch? The screen under it? Or is this a bigger problem

Wont disconnecting the spark allow fuel to spray still? Wouldnt just pulling the fuse to the fuel pump work?

@whiplashtv2022

9 ай бұрын

Yes there will be a little fuel that will still spray. It is no big deal as shown in the video. Pulling the fuel pump fuel won’t keep it from firing due to residual fuel in the fuel rail and line. It won’t run for long obviously but it will try to run for a brief time off of the residual fuel.

are these the same as a lq4 or any differences in procedure

The LQ4 and the 5.3 engine oil pans, pick up tube, and oil pump will be similar. The oring that you need for yours may be a different part number so look it up for your motor.

I just bought a 2001 chevy tahoe 5.3 rwd and oh man i like the truck but it's been giving me a bunch of codes B2722, C0265 and P0332. The first two goes away by it self sometimes I erased the codes. The 3rd one is new. Is it worth replacing the body control module and EBCM?

P0332 is saying that the Knock Sensor 2 Bank 2 is sending a low reading to the pcm. The B2722 is set when the when the signal circuit of the Tow/Haul switch is shorted to ground for approximately 3 minutes. For the C0265 code, I would check the EBCM Ground.

@@jamesgore1472 ok, since it is throwing a code for the Oil Pressure Sensor, that means there is something that the computer isn’t happy with concerning that sensor. 1st question is, did you remove the screen beneath the sensor??? If you have removed it or know 100% that it is clean, then move onto these possibilities…. It is possible to get a bad sensor brand new out of the box. I also suggest checking the wiring leading up to the connector to the sensor. Also make sure that the pins in the connector are good and fully pressed into the connector and haven’t backed out at all.
