Tahoe idle oil pressure

[MassHoe04]

what do you guys think about this?

That sounds dangerous to me.

Rotation of the axles could melt or break the bungee, wrap around the shaft or do other collateral damage as it whips around the engine bay.

I have done my fair share of sketchy things, but what you describe as a solution makes me really cringe!

See what others say, but I would advise against this option.

If you do it (not recommended) be sure to do a video of it and post it in the "I'm at work, entertain me" thread.

Why, slow down and revaluate.

Yeah after second thinking my stupidity I'm not going to do that I'll just disassemble what I can and I'll drive my second car for now

Front diff is hanging on by one bolt, the top one! Going to finish dropping it and maneuvering it out tomorrow, as I ran out of time and have an obligation to be at today.

Do yall think when I drop it out it'll pour oil all over? I didn't drain it and I do have a small right axle leak.

If you look at video, I put in post #38 you don't have to remove front diff just let it hang pan will slide by. There are several video's online that show doing it without lift.

I personally prefer to drop the differential all the way, just so I have all the room I need and im not working around it constantly.

I see, good time to drain and replace seals and gaskets to stop leak.

My oil pressure drop a small amount and I got some ticking and some other noises at idle intermittently , So yesterday I pulled the pan the ring was very lose compared to the fel pro i replaced it with I was able to get the pan out by droping the axel with a jack , I cleaned the pan and put back together, I cleaned the battery ground while under their as well so I have no yet started her up. I replaced the pressure sensor a few months ago as PM due to the amount that they leak. (I have had bad experiences in the past with oil pump o rings ) My truck has about 190k

Thanks for the insight! I'm hoping the o ring is the problem for me, I'll find out in the next week or so once my parts are here! Let me know how the oil pressure is once you get it started!
