  1. You didnt make any reference i just threw it in for a fun fact! Aswell as you ive never heard of 0w20 oil thats weird. Mine older one takes 5w30. And haha yes, apparently analog gauges are a think of the past when in my opinion they'res a lot less to go wrong and a lot less complicated than digital ones. If it is a problem with the oil pressure sending unit have the dealer do it. Its under warranty!
  2. I'd grind all visible spots that you can get to, hit it with a metal brush wheel, and throw some chassis saver on it, the stuffs kinda expensive but you wont have to re do it for 3 years!
  3. Well theres a bunch of factors as well. GM's "spec" i believe is 6psi per 1k rpm MINIMUM. You say everything was normal until you changed oil 800 miles ago, what type of oil was it? Humans make mistakes, im sure that it could also be a heavier weight that your dealer or whoever did it may have put the wrong stuff in. Its always possible. Oil pressure is NOT created by the oil pump, that creates flow and volume, they do not create pressure. what creates the pressure is the gaps between your metal parts, your connecting rod bearings and main bearings create the oil pressure. Im sure your dealer will say its fine just because that what dealers usually do, if they find a problem and fix it then great, if not, id start with another oil change. Do the oil change yourself if possible to eliminate some variables. I hope the dealer finds something out or fixes the issue! If not come back to the forums and im sure a bunch of us can give you some ideas!
  4. Oil pressure and RPM have corelation, if you were at 3-4k RPMS on a new truck Id say thats normal. My 06 hits 75 when its cold at first take off. Id say nothing abnormal. In gear driving at around 70 mph you should see the needle right around 40psi maybe even higher, if you floor it you can watch as the RPM's go up so does the oil pressure Id say 80 on a new truck at higher RPM isnt an issue at all, its normal.
  5. Hey guys, don't really know to much about specifics on audio and maybe one of you guys can help. I have a Alpine PDX-5 Amp, and when i crank up the volume up around 25-30, eventually all sound cuts out. The head unit stays on, the blue light on the amp stays on, but theres no sound. I have heard of people having similar problems but there solutions dont work and i kinda dont understand the lingo they use. Its hooked up to 4 Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1s, all on seperate channels, and two subs on the mono sub channel which are Kicker Comp C10's i believe. Could it mean i have a dying amp? I've checked the remote wire and it all seemed good. Any info is greatly appreciated, thanks!
