HERE'S A TIP! I like the magnet idea and have applied it. Because I was so scared of dropping the bolt, HERE'S WHAT I DID! GRAB SOME DENTAL FLOSS. Once the bolt is about half way out or more, loop and knot around the bolt but continue using the magnet. USE THIS METHOD TO REINSTALL.
Good idea! Thanks for the advice!
Fishing line works great to!
Worked great with the floss. I didn't have to worry when the bolt fell because I could pull it out.

What an excellent video! I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. It was so informative and factual and you showed every step completely. I truly appreciate it I really do. I'm not lying when I say this. The shop wanted $1,300 to do the job on my 06 Chevy 6.0 cargo van.. I do not have that kind of money. I am paycheck to paycheck but because of this video I was easily able to do it myself! I was really nervous and apprehensive about the whole thing but after I watch this video it was like you completely motivated me! Your instructions and narration were crystal clear and the video quality is nothing short of professional. I literally went step by step. I would pause the video do exactly what you did and so on and so on. I can't thank you enough there's no way I could have afforded to take this in seriously I would have been walking to work for at least a month. Honestly you did a really good job. Thank you so much

That's great! I'm glad my video helped you! Thanks for watching!
@@1018Video on behalf of my family to yours thank you again so much like I said we literally could have never afforded this type of repair the time you took really helped people like me and again I can't thank you enough.
Great job! Used alot of this to help me and Also found a way and left a comment, to insure not dropping the bolt into the pan. Thanks for your help!
Glad my video helped you out!
Excellent video top notch replacement work tons of valuable knowledge
Thanks for posting I’ve learned so much
Glad you liked the video, thanks for watching!
Bruuuuuhhh thank you so much ... I saw other videos .. they just kept taking shot off .. it instantly intimidated me .. but your video is much easier and imma try it in my Yukon.. call are the best
Thanks for watching! I'm glad my video helped you!
Good video. You should have indexed that pump housing to the crank timing gear .002 is the spec, when the pickup tube is installed first it wants to pushs it off center.
Also you can flip the pickup tube flange 180° and use it from the other side to bolt to the oil pump, 10x easier than trying to thread from the bottom side, you will need to grind the tab down a little to get it to spin 180°
Thanks for the info!
The pick up tube flange on my Tahoe is attached by weld from factory. There isn't a way to spin it 180°
Best I’ve seen yet!,
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
Very good cuestións camara man 👍👍👍 like the installation tool
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
Great video!!! Thanks. I will be doing this soon
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you like my video!
This was good,thanks.
I'm glad you like my video, hope it helped you out! Thanks for watching!
I’m fixin to do my ole 2002 6.0 Chevy crew cab 4x4 with 227,000 miles on it ! I’ll check the timing chain tension and prim the pump before cranking! I put 8 quarts of oil in case my wife needed to got the hospital if I wasn’t there ! The low oil light went off! Lol you can drive it long like this because the oil will foam up and there goes the crank!
Doing my 04 2500 4 weel drive this way but I'm taking my Dremel tool and grinding down the tab that stops the tube hold down from rotating 180 and using the bolt hole on the upper side lot's easier to access! Just be careful not to get filings in the oil pan rags oiled down to catch them works well it doesn't take much to make to rotate the the bolt bracket 180 degrees works great!!!
How that work out
If I change the bolt in pick up arm to other side. Is it ok to switch and not put old bolt back in the other hole?
Just did my pick up tube and oil pan gasket. Low oil pressure still existed after. Been sulking refusing to drop the pan again. You gave me hope.
When you go to reassemble simply use a oil tube girdle with the other hole. I did it worked great.
Thanks for the info! And thanks for watching. 😎
Tip trick... lift the front end up in the air a bit. It allows the coolant to sit back some to have a dry surface when drying it off. Instead of a slow drip.
Thanks for the information! And thanks for watching!
Thanks!

Thanks bud
Hopefully this video helped you out! Thanks for watching!
Great video, great attention to detail
Thanks for watching!
Hey would this work for my 2014 Camaro (SS) 6.2?? Just bought a list of gaskets and fluid and pump cause other forums I’m reading is I have to drop the pan stuff like that I’m hoping I don’t !!
Yes this should work for that engine. They're all almost the same.
Good work man, you alright by me, but next time may I suggest a little oil in those gears and fill the spaces between the gears with Vaseline to help promote vacuum on initial startup that way that oil gets picked up right away.👍
Thanks for the info! Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching.
@@1018Video I have a question do you guys still have the stock connecting rods from the 2.0 engine from the Camaro, if you do can I purchase them from you.
I think the only things we have from that car are the busted pistons, lol. Forged internals for those cars are really cheap. We got ZZP pistons and rods for less than 1,000. I think the entire build of that car, all the bolt-ons and everything was less than 2k dollars total.
@@1018Video ok cool thanks.
Afew questions.. when you took off the gear on oil pump did you/he have to torque em back in? And the oil pickup tube bolt does it need torque?? And timing cover torque? I dropd my oil pan yesterday and changed oring but gotta change pump tomorrow..errr,i hate oil pressure issues.
Sorry! I just now seen this comment.
What’s the other oil pump you were talking about
I have the balancer installer with interchangeable threads and if you have that kind don't tighten down on the crankshaft or the interchangeable tip will stay on the crank when you remove the tool
Yep!
Hour wise how long did this take?
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
How do I stop the pulley from turning? I have the bolt sticking out enough but after about a turn it's starts rotating
Should be in the video, if not then I'm not sure how to explain it really.
Thanks for the video, was the timing chain good?
The timing-chain usually isn't an issue on LS engines.
@@1018Video thanks mine keeps throwing cam position sensor ( yes changed) so I’m wondering about a slack chain. I’ll find out soon. Puller is in the mail
@@marklytle6376
What year vehicle?
@@1018Video 2007
@@1018Video also found someone changed cam position sensor and broke it in half, left it inside and was bouncing around inside timing cover. Hope that was it.
This is a great cheat on a 4wd, because you have to drop the diff to drop the oil pan.. I just wish you showed how to get the pickup tube bolt back on. If you drop that bolt in the pan you got a lot more stuff to pull off to get to the pan.
On one of our personal vehicles we actually left the bolt in the pan when we dropped it. 🤣 (I do not recommend doing that) It had no issues. 🤣 You just have to balance the bolt on a wrench and hope you have good luck.
Good job bro. I got one question did you ever put that one bolt back into the pickup tube underneath the oil pump ? I have to say you saved yourself and other that will follow your instruction 7 or 8 hours of labor. As someone else said the Vaseline with a really help. Do keep up the good works . May God truly bless you young man and your cameraman.
I don't remember, lol. Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video!
@@1018Video way easier if you cut the tab on the pickup tube at least thats what i do cause then you can put the bolt on other side
@@izakwasserman2887 I have heard of the cutting the tab trick. What do you use to cut it? Just ordered my oil pump and getting ready to swap on my Silverado as soon as it arrives. Thanks for any advise/tips!
@@chefzackkasmar6767 thin cut dremel wheel
I was wondering the same thing
A local mechanic told me he leaves it out, which is nuts to half ass it
A I'm working on a 2007 Cadillac escalator it is 6.2?I'm changing out the water pump.Do you think I should change out the oil pump aswell?While i'm there too. It's 170,000
If it's never been changed before go ahead and do it if it's possible for you to do or get done, such a simple thing can cause huge problems later if it fails.
Thanks for responding
I think I will replace the oil pan gasket also it would be easier to change the oil pump without taking it apart
Are there two parts to the oil pump on a 5.7 v8
I'm not sure, I'm just the cameraman lol.
Somewhere in the instructions it should have told you to align the oil pump. Not sure why you didn't replace the timing chain since you went that far but to each his own. I would suggest that people torque the oil pump if they're just a rookie because some people might strip the threads. If you don't have a solvent tank to clean, use a can of brake clean. Prime your oil pump too boys and girls. It does amaze me how long these oil pumps last as cheap made that they are, though.
How do you prime the oil pump? Thats my issue rightnow
We just did exactly what the customer wanted.
The oil pick up tube o ring is the most common cause of low oil pressure, i probably would've tried that 1st or just done them both at the same time
He did do the pickup tube oring
Anytime you're in there it's best to go ahead and replace the oil-pump, they're cheap too.
Is the bolt clockwise to lossen or counter clock wise just want to make sure it's not making it tighter I know harleys comps are reverse threaded
Clockwise.. just added a comment that could be helpful if you're tackling this project
Yep.
Now I find this, I tore the front differential out , motor mount bolts , lifted the engine removed the oil pan , just to change that little green o ring ....lost oil pressure ( my heart sank ) 3 months later the stupid oil pressure sending unit , behind the intake , blew the plastic top off , lost oil pressure off course again ( heart skipped again too )..that was about 268,000 miles , I fought threw that , she's got 318, 000 on her now , back apart she comes , front main seal fell out , quarts of oil per minute no good , water pump dripping on my head told me there was more trouble to come , or I would be driving it now .. my atlas hoist makes it so much easier from the bottom and / or top 😁🤷
Where are you located?
Does this apply for 4 wheel drive
Yes.
What about the O Ring On The Pick Up Tube ?
It's there.
What was the part number?
Old kiddie pool works well to catch all the fluid
Not a bad idea!
Good idea , I should have thought that through, though ? I looked silly getting chewed out by a 4 year old .. I had to take it because she was right 🤷
Why didn’t you have to prime the pump before cranking?
I use a little #2 grease or 105 lube
I'm asking if it's necessary because I just did a oil pump swap and I didn't but my oil pressure light is still on... SMH
Same for 2007 escalade?
Should be.
Its almost like they make crappy O ring seals for the oil pick up
Pretty much lol.
What about the old gasket on the oil pan??
Does the video not show that part? I don't remember if it did or didn't.
So you didn't have to prime the oil pump?
We prime it by turning then engine over in the vehicle with the fuel-pump relay pulled.
Wouldn't have just been easier to drop the pan?? I feel like its easier for me but idk. Nice video tho
Dropping the pan involves lifting the engine. This is the easiest way to get the job done.
1018 Video No
Oil pump is behind the timing cover so no dropping the pan is no help besides for the oil pick up tube
4 weel drive and a couple of hours to the job and a lot of aggravation!!!
It takes a 1/2 day to drop the front end and drive shaft etc on my Silverado 2500hd LT 6.0 take the front off like this guy did step for step he’s awesome as is his camera man!!
just buy an OEM harmonic balancer removal tool kit and a reinstall kit
The oil pickup bolt reinstall must be magic. Getting tired of fishing it out of the oil pan. Fugg
Yeah I hear that!
Use a magnet and dental floss or braided fishing line!
What in the world were they thinking with an oil pump like that? Especially in four-wheel-drive trucks… Maybe it’s easier just to pull the engine for everything.
It almost is easier to just pull the engine lol.
U didn't show taking clutch fan off
Some have electric fans like mine
Correct.
wasn't one...electric fans
Sensor, O-ring on pick-up tube or Oil pump. Pull the pan replace both O-ring and oil pump
Yes!
Everything else is one or two grunts 😂
Lol. 🤣
U skipped a crucial part tho 🥴🤦🏿♂️
We did it, just forgot to record it.
What’s the other oil pump you were talking about
