Question
simms
I have a 2000 silverado z71 with a 5.3l with 205,000 miles on it. Two weeks ago, I started the truck up in my driveway and was loading a few things into the bed when it started making a terrible clicking noise, I looked at my guages and the oil pressure was sitting on 0 and the check oil pressure light was on. I shut the engine off right away and check my oil level and it was perfect. I started the vehicle up and everything seemed fine. 2 days later I start the truck and it looses oil pressure 30 seconds after starting it, but as soon as I give it a little gas the pressure comes back. Now here is the interesting part, I bring it to the chevrolet garage and they tell me my oil pump is going out. I have to decide do I put in a new oil pump ($1150.00) or trade the truck off. Well I decide to put the pump in and see what happens. 10 days later my truck lost pressure 2 mornings in a row, but the pressure does come back if I give it a little gas. I also had the sending unit replaced. Sorry this is so long. Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Simms
