I have a 2007 Silverado new body with the 5.3 in it, I recently had the cam and lifters and oil pump replaced and upgraded to a BTR stage 1 cam and tuned and AFM/DoD deleted. Since I got it back from the guy that worked on it the oil pressure has been starting up at around 55 psi or better and goes back down after running for about 10 minutes. Also the engine will shake pretty violently till its warm, the rpm's fluctuate between 800 to 1100 till warm and levels out around 700 or so.

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated

I would have another tuner look at it. It's crazy. I'm looking to do the delete kit and new lifter job as well. Asap. I have a 2008 GMC Sierra btw..I found out today I have a bad lifter. I got on to find some recommendations on where to get the work done. I live in temple tx. How much did it cost you? If you dont mind me asking

The guy that did the work for me under bid the job so I paid him extra and all in all I paid him 630 for labor, the tune and delete cost me 350. I paid 800 for the cam, lifters, and all the seals and gaskets and sense the truck is an old farm truck it was never taken care of and everything was original so I've been having to replace everything else as it breaks. It snowballed into roughly 1200 in parts

Not bad. The shop was telling me 1600 for one side. I was like yeah I'm looking for other options asap. My truck is paid for so. I want to do something to wake up the old 5.3

      Oil Consumption

      By KARNUT · Posted

      No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.

      RUMOR / INSIDER: 2027 Silverado Dealer Reveal NEXT WEEK

      By RobbertClaus · Posted

      Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

      Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
