07 Tahoe Lt 0 oil pressure

[usnret]

What did you do to get pressure back?

 

[Rashod]

Nothing, I just got the oil pressure sensor and the little screen from Amazon today, so I changed the plugs and started it up and the pressure was at 40. I drove it until it reached temperature and all seemed fine besides the ticking.

Is it a loud tick? Is there a way to upload video of the sound? That would help greatly.

 

[Rashod]

Yes its loud. Its comming from the passenger side. I'm pretty sure it's a lifter. I've already tried to upload a video, it keep saying the video is to large even though it's only 8 seconds

Might need to post it on YouTube and copy the link on here.

Heres the video.

Is this a 4.8 or 5.3 motor? If 5.3, does V4 still work and no check engine lights?

 

[Rashod]

5.3, idk it's the 1st time I've ever dealt with a 07 to 14 gm v8. How do I figure it out? And no CEL.

If you are going to do the pickup tube o-ring you should do the oil pump while you are in there.

Also do the oil filter again and all fresh oil. 6 quarts I believe.

But the pickup tube can be done by just dropping the oil pan while the pump requires disassembling the front of the motor which is more than a lot of people are comfortable with.

I get that but I always like spending other people's money and causing them more work. If I am gonna get dirty I go all the way.
