Howdy,
I've got a 2001 GMC Yukon 5.3 4x2 with 241k on the clock. Just recently, I have noticed that my oil pressure likes to stay around the 25-35 psi range, when its always sat at just under 40 (at idle). I'll get my oil changed sooner or later to verify that's not the problem, but the oil looks semi clear on the dipstick. Also, In the mornings too, it'll have a "knock" or a "tap" for a little while, but I understand that that is a common problem with higher mileage trucks. My question is, do you think the motor is too worn to put a Bb tune on her, with a level and 33" bfg T/A's? 3.73 stock gears shouldn't have trouble keeping up imo...just looking for second opinions before I dump the money for tunes and stuff, would rather not dump into a motor that is soon to be gone...thanks.
