OIL PUMP Replaced at 120K
Just had my oil pump replaced on my 5.3 Vortech hiway pressure was 40 psi and idleing was about 10 psi. If you have this problem and no knocking noise, chances are its the pump. Oh by the way 800 bones for the repair job using a $112.00 part!!!!

The 5.3 must have oil pump problems.I replaced one 5.3 with about 80,000 miles on it so far with an oil pump problem that the previous owner drove it that way.The rods were knocking in this one

Re: OIL PUMP Replaced at 120K
I would have done it myself with some help. $1200 is 1/3 the price of a new engine

Re: OIL PUMP Replaced at 120K
The only problem I have seen with oil pumps on 5.3 engines is the pick-up tube O ring will split and cause the lifters to tick when the engine gets warm..other than that, its been a good engine
