I was having a problem with loosing my oil pressure after a few seconds of running above 3k, now, I had a fram filter on there, (becasue I need to use it cuz I put a hole in my napa filter offroading).

 

Also, I had to put a new pickup tube on my oil pump cuz the old one fell off, but that was what I though was causing me to loose oil pressure, so ignore this sentance.....

 

Anyway, so I fill it with oil and throw on another fram filter cuz I have one in my tool box.

 

So it does the same thing that I listed above..... so I was like WTF. So I though I would get a NAPA filter (what I normally use), and put it on, throw in another quart to bring it up to fill, and the problem goes away.....

 

Is it that fram filter that is restrictive so it makes a guy loose oil pressure?

Dang, Frams are crappy filters but I wouldn't think you would get two that would do that in a row. It should not be that much more or less restrictive to flow than a NAPA (Wix) filter out of the box. Sounds like you got something else going on with it, almost sounds like the oil pump is not pulling/pushing oil above a certain rpm-maybe its going bad and cavitating at high rpms, or maybe you have some trash in the pickup, maybe the oil pump drive is coming unseated at higher rpms...you could also have some wacky stuff going on in your bypass up in the block... I would slap a new oil pump/drive/pickup on there if it happens again. It may have just been some trash in the system that will never happen again....good luck with it-hope it works out.

Maybe the ADBV in the Frams was stuck shut and blocking the bypass at higher pressures/RPM. I don't know..... Wacky. Good that its workin now I reckon.... :thumbs:

"AC" for me. What is good enough for the MFR is OK for me. Been using them in all my vehicles for years and have never had a problem.

Service manager told me to use mobil one filter and another one that Auto Zone Carries...but stay away from the Fram.

 

I see this as he was giving me options if I didn't want to use the AC (Which I like).

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      By kr477 · Posted

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.
