Whats Normal Oil Pressure In a 5.3 @ operatin temperature, Mine has been gettin lower and lower......(tick tick tick)
I think the 5.3 is finally on its way out... 3 transmissions and 1 rearend, hmmmm... I wonder what wil die next
I guess I better start lookin for a 6.0 a Year earlier than I anticipated
You could just throw a high volume pump in there to stretch out it's life. Be sure you change your oil and filter then check your pressure.

Your pressure sending unit may be giving you false readings, also.

Thanks for the Advice, gonna buy one tomorrow
, and um, the valve train clatter reminds allong with the gauge tell me I have Low oil pressure
Changed oil and filter many times, every 3,000 miles, I run Mobil 1 and el cheapo brand oil filters.. a motor that has lasted me 108,000 is a first for me
rear main seal seems agitated also, my little 5.3 started marking its territory
Yeah my valvetrain clatter has gotten much louder since the cam install, would installing the Z06 cam demand a higher oil pressure? I installed the stock Z06 springs to go along with the cam. I might look into a higher volume pump also.

I don't know of anyone but Scoggins Dickey that can get you the oil pump. Its a pump from the new 2005 5.3L LH6 displacement on demand trailblazers. GM had been hoarding them up till the last couple of weeks. It has a 20% increase in volume, which should help those oil starved bearings.
Part number is 12571885 and cost me $72.72.

Oil pressure decrease is simply bearing wear. Once it gets less than 10psi at idle begin to worry.

Let's face it, the red hair... makes 'em wet.
Nice price, much cheaper than a ported pump and probally more volume than that too.Originally posted by RedHeartbeat@Sep 4 2005, 09:37 AM
