    Another oil pressure sensor? No Pressure Again.

    What is the VLOM? My guess is the shop wouldn't able to tell it's the o-ring unless they dropped the pan? Would running the motor and spraying soapy water all around the oil pan to see if it bubbles be an option. This might sound really dumb, I'm no mechanic, but in my line of work we do this...

    Another oil pressure sensor? No Pressure Again.

    I think it was the fuel-pro, it was the only one they had. It looked the same as the one that came out. I ended up taking it to a local shop because I’m going out of town for work and my wife needs to drive it. They said they put a gauge on it and had pressure matching what the sensor was...

    Another oil pressure sensor? No Pressure Again.

    So I replaced the oil cooler gasket. It still appears to be leaking a little. I’m wondering if I put it on the wrong way. The old one fell before I could see how it was on there and the new one was slightly thicker on one side of the metal core than it was the other.

    Another oil pressure sensor? No Pressure Again.

    Popped the cover off, looks fairly clean inside. I think your right, I think what tiny bit is in there is run off since it’s a low point. It’s only in the corner and a very time amount. Here’s a little better pic I think. From what I can tell it looks like maybe the leak is coming from the 2...

    Yes that is one of the spots, it was clean yesterday and now you can tell oil is coming out of there.

    How did they determined it was the pump. I'd hate to just start throwing parts at it.

    Another oil pressure sensor? No Pressure Again.

    I defiantly think I'll monitor it a little better. It's my wife's ride so I kinda forget about it until she says something. I did look under there today after cleaning it up yesterday, so it say for almost a full day. I did notice oil coming out from a cover (about the size of coke can...

    Right not there is a puralator filter. Usually go by the computer for oil changes. I think I will be changing my own oil from now on. I typically use a FRAM filter, I forget which one, but it's the top of the line along with the red valvoline red max life. I didn't see any signs of leaking...

    Another oil pressure sensor? No Pressure Again.

    Unfortunately I can't answer some of those. I had a shop replace the sensor the first time and under warranty the second time. I would like to think they confirmed this was the issue before replacing the sensor. As far as miles into and oil change, it's always been towards the end of the oil...

    I had to have a shop do it because I didn't have the time so I can't be certain. I'll try and find the invoice and find out.

    Another oil pressure sensor? No Pressure Again.

    My wifes Yukon just dropped oil pressure again. Got the turn off engine now warning. Replaced the pressure switch less than year ago, made it about a two weeks and it failed and when to zero pressure again. Replaced it and it's been going well until today. Checked the oil, pretty sure it was...

    Rear compressor and shocks replacement.

    Just curious if anyone has had someone replace the rear compressor and shocks. I was curious what I might expect to pay. The issue is the compressor keeps kicking on. From what I've read it could be the compressor or shocks. I'm trying to figure out if I should replace just the shocks and see...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Had the big task of changing the passenger front turn signal. I also had the strange "What if I do a few mods?" conversation with myself, not sure how that's going to turn out yet.

    Battery is always dead.

    Apologies for taking so long to respond. Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I ended up just replacing the battery. I actually upgraded from a 75 group to a 78 group, not that there is a huge difference, price was the same. Plus I figure it might come in handy if I decided put a sub in...
