No oil pressure at start up, 2001 Tahoe

haha its falling into sad shape. rear drivers quarter and rocker is starting to rust out. Several options don't work anymore, its on its 2nd drivers seat as.....well you can guess why. Its still in great shape considering but its far from pristine, and far from a head turner. I have driven it for 9 years now investigating insurance claims.

still amazing. bet the 2wd helps alot its longevity but thats still relatively unheard of with these trucks. hit the rust with some osfo and throw some inhibitor on it just to keep it from getting worse.

At this point I'd be poised to get it to the million mile mark since you've made it this far

 

[TWITCH101]

go for the million and keep trucking. Did this help any with the engine tick?

 

[Chads93GT]

No. The tick is still there. Truck still going though. 540k

Update on the mileage?

 

[Chads93GT]

544111 lol

This is simply awesome! Makes me hope that I can make my burb go this long. I'm at 160k and counting......I have a LONG ways to go

Wow, it looks like you have great oil pressure @ idle now.

Can't believe you are @ 500k+! I thought I was working with a high mileage vehicle @ 180k.

My 04 Z71 has 245k. These trucks last if you take care of them. I have had zero oil pressure issues since I put the O ring in. hope this thread eventually helps someone avoid a very expensive "rebuilt" just because a $3 oring goes bad.
