I am a little confused as to when you would use the different oil pumps.
From what I can tell there are three.
1. Regular volume, regular pressure.
2. High volume. Regular pressure
3. High volume high pressure.
(Correct me please if these are wrong)
I have a mostly stock 2006 Yukon Denali. 6.0 liter with K&N Air intake, MSD 8.5mm plug wires, magna flow mufflers. So nothing special. Not trying to be a fat body Corvette.
I recently replaced the oil pick up o-ring, the oil bypass dumbell, oil pressure sensor(not the sensor screen though) . The radiator (mentioning this because this engine has the oil cooler lines running to it). All this was about 3k miles ago.
In the last 100 miles I'm having the oil pressure gauge jumping all over, and getting the "oil pressure low" signal at all levels of RPM.
I'm going to replace the sensor screen first. Then most likely going to redo the oil pick up tube, oring, and oil pump.
So I'm wondering which new oil pump to put in this engine.
Also...
I've seen a few guys add a washer to the oil pump bypass spring assembly to increase the pressure needed before the bypass kicks in.
Any thoughts on that little hack would be appreciated also.
Thanks guys.
