Ty!
So did the red spring give you a code/check engine light due to the higher pressure?
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

***CAUTION*** I do my own stunts!
Honestly, it's been so long ago I can't remember which spring it was.
Whatever spring came in it is the one I used. I want to say that I still have a yellow? and white? spring laying around that came with it.
I used the Mellings 10355...

So, yeah, i think it was a 10% psi over spring but HV, which is supposed to be standard volume for AFM engines.
But to answer your question, yes it would set a code P0523 for oil pressure out of range or high range or something to that affect.

New wiper blades today....
..also my aluminum heater hose Ts came in today too. nice looking product from stealth. just need to get some heater hose from the local stop n rob oreillys and I'll get some screaming and cussing done whilst working on the coolant system sometime. hopefully we have a random warm day and I can get it done. I'm sure the clock is ticking on those plastic Ts.

Picture of the shimming of the oil pump install.
I didn't think there was much movement on the bolts until i was actually shimming it.
Very tight tolerances!
Used two feeler gauge sets, got a few dupes thanks to my digital caliper and stacking the feeler gauges.
Top rusty one, I don't even recall where i got that set from.
might have been an estate sale, or one of my grandpas.
For that set, you can't see the numbers any longer, so I have to use the digital caliper set to see thickness.
And to top it off, it's riveted together!
I have no remorse taking scissors to it...

Damn, that really looks like a pain in the ass. Guess I'm just used to only having to drop the pan to change an oil pump, not removing the balancer, water pump, and front/timing cover

Most seem to say it's not required.
Melling instructions don't mention it as well.
I did read that some experienced bind in the pump after torqueing the pump down.
This was just an extra step to be sure there is enough clearance for the pump to function properly.
Honestly, it was not that difficult.
Most of the time spent was prep work.
One thing i learned while doing my first transmission rebuild (700r4).
Detail everything so you don't need to take it apart again.

I have been tracking my charging voltage a bit. For the last few days it was acting like I am used to. Drove 2 hours in the interstate last night and voltage was right around 14. This morning I remote started and then noticed the charging voltage was up again. So, it seems related to when I remote start the truck. Just thought I would share.
how long are you monitoring it for? default is for it to charge high when you first start it up for a XX amount of time, then if you have the defroster or headlights, etc going then it will charge high also, the RVC is a finicky beast.
