Very common issue with the 5.3L. mine has 332K Miles and after an oil change I will sit at 40 psi at cold idle. When warmed up, it'll sit at 30 psi hot idle. The gauge is deceiving. It'll look like it's 20 psi because it's about halfway to 40 but it's actually over 30 psi. As the oil gets several thousand miles, the pressure will drop significantly due to it bypassing from a heavily soiled filter. There's actually a tab for low pressure due to people changing the oil without changing the oil filter.
These early LS motors were notorious for weird low oil pressure complaints. You could also have an internal oil leak. The cam plate is a common one especially with high mileage units. The oil pumps are also pretty crap.
Any advantage in doing an engine wash before adding new oil and filter?
Storing oil in a coffee cup. How much you wanna bet someone is going to get a surprise tomorrow morning when they go to take a sip of their "coffee".. LOL
Thank you for an important reminder Ray. A very sad and similar thing happened to a dear friend's sister. The child lived but it crushed his pelvis.
My 4.3 has got better oil pressure than that it runs at 50psi and it's got over 200.000 miles on it.
You need those sheets of paper to put on the floor of the cars.
Did you torque wheel lugs?
HEY ALL YOU GUYS!!! haha
Not long after I met my wife, we got tickets to a Scandal/John Waite concert. (I know, I know! Who the hello is that?! Scandal was Patti Smyth singing "The Warrior and John Waite was with The Baby's in the 70's and went solo in the 80's and hit the charts with "Missing You" in '84). Anyways heh, she insisted we take her 76 Plymouth Duster. Sucker had a steering wheel the size of a NY city transit bus heh. We got a flat on the way so as I'm getting everything out to change the tire she says, " Can I change the tire?" She says, "I know what's involved but I've never done it before and I want to know I can if I'm ever somewhere without help." Torn I was lol. Let a girl change her own flat?! "Sure!" I says. "Just ask any questions you might have. And damned if she didn't change it right there on the side of the road. She wasn't petite but she wasn't far from it. I think I knew right then that I lucked into something special. And I was right.
Get the filter apart take about 10 folds in a rag and squeeze it in the vise.
Run a magnet across it.
Nothing better than this on TV on a Saturday night. Thanks again Ray!
Need to run some BG EPR in there.
No no! Not my dear! She is wife unit! Get it right!
I have a new found like for this channel after seeing his kids and now his wife in the shop with him. Ray has a cool little wifey. Good video 😀😉
How do you find this shop?
damn thats some low ass miles for a 2004
When customers from other locations respect the work you did so much they come directly to you for any other work. That's mad respect.
I never understood why folks don't use oem filters. If you buy a dozen from Rockauto they are like $3. each. You can't buy a cheap off brand for that.
Throw that K&N filter in the trash asap!
That Suburban is clean. With those low miles I would have a hard time believing there was an oil pressure issue. My 05' had 260k and had great oil pressure. But I used oem filters and changed it every 3-4k miles. I ran it hard, towards the 260k mark she was using 2 qts between oil changes.
The Oil pump pickup tube O ring probably is shot on it. I had this on a 06 5.3. Tapped bad. Now its been ok for about 40k miles Only 113k wow
Always a good honest mechanic, hard to find….oB
“NO MORE SCOLDING OIL…” Then the oil said “watch this” lol
Friend did a oil change two days ago. Forgot to put the plug back. Been doing this stuff for 30 years and there's still a first time for anything. Lol
Good stuff.
That oil seemed awefully thin even for hot oil
Another great video from the Rainman Ray.
Hey Ray. My 88 dodge w150 lost oil pressure once because the oil pump pickup was clogged with gunk. Thanks .love the videos
Hey Sloth… (Goonies reference, I love it)
On my Silverado I use a screwdriver to puncture a hole in the bottom of the oil filter. Less mess.
2 comments:- 1 in U.K. when we refer to the wife we say the BOSS. / 2 maybe the owner of sed car was so impressed with the hard work done last time they tracked you down to get an honest job done instead of going to another greedy company
Over its life this vehicle has adveraged 26.2 miles per hour.
Warning your new red oil drain is going to make it Rain Motor Oil in your new shop if you go to empty it Great videos Ray
Would love a follow up on this…I have an 08 suburban that had no oil pressure light…changed oil…changed sensor….8 months later the warning is back…only comes after about 30 min of driving. Still about 1000 miles till oil change due. Not daily driver.
I like your story on kid safety, I too have a similar story!
Man that’s a lot of hours for the miles it has. My work truck has 4900 hours roughly and has 219,000 miles not to mention it has a PTO that gets used quite often.
……..and people wonder why they have low oil pressure? Use thicker oil folks!!
Read the label on that brake cleaner. Cancer, it's real. Wear gloves.
Does it have 2 batteries in it???
Hope you sacked the employee who made that mess on your floor!
