And the nightmare continues. After deciding to have the motor rebuilt in my 2007 Yukon Denali (6.2) I am dealing with an issue that has not been able to be solved so far.
The shop I paid to remove and rebuild the motor has taken the motor out several times since the original rebuild. The problem is when engine gets to operating temp the oil pressure only stays around 8-10 PSI. Seems very low for a supposed rebuilt engine. The rebuilder called me last week and told me it was fixed (wrong cam bearings installed) so I drove 4 hours north to pick it up. After driving about 15 miles I noticed the oil pressure dropping at low RPM’s and check engine light came on. The truck seems to run fine with the exception of low oil pressure at operating temps under lower RPM’s. Any idea on what the issue could be?
$4,100.00 later and I still dealing with this headache. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I do need to manually test the oil pressure to confirm the problem. Do the in dash gauges ever malfunction or give false readings or is that not real common?
Is this safe to drive given the apparent low oil pressure readings?
