Perfect time to replace the oil pickup tube o ring.

I bought a used 04 Yukon xl and it needs a new oil pan gasket. This video looks like it applies as well. Thank you so much for this instruction. On point!

Great video!! Here is a tip: whenever you do your oil pan gasket, always do your oil pickup tube o ring. Its literally 2 more bolts. I have seen many 4.8/5.3 “killed” because this 2$ o ring failing. Make sure you get the right one for your application.

Was just thinking about taking my truck to a machanic but after watching your video i will do it my self. Thanks

Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I don't ever reply to videos and this might actually be my first one. You have the best video for doing this job in my opinion. I watched many before I chose yours. The quality and description is superb. Also, I too was on the floor doing this. Thankfully my truck has a 6" lift and 35's but I still felt the pain let me tell you. Thank you again buddy you saved me a lot of money and time with this 👍

Thanks! I could have figured it out but I imagine you saved me a couple hours worth of head scratching. Great video!

Thank you so much bro I subscribe and gave you a thumbs up for the past 3 years I've been a KZfaq certified mechanic and today I did my oil change and found a leak on my oil pan gasket. Thank God I have a 4x2 and I'll be tackling this task probably this weekend. Thank you so much again homie you get s*** done 👍💯

Good job on the instructions and clarity of the video. Gonna attempt this next week & save me some money. Thank you

Exclnt step by step with the gasket - and those 4 spots that need sealant. Super job!

Thank you so much. I used this video to get to the oil pick up tube o-ring. Easiest and best walkthrough out there. It was worth it just for the explanation on how to remove the oil level sensor.

Legit, I was quoted 8-900 dollars so they can do the oil pan gasket, I’m in Arizona. I just watched this video and it made me feel like “I can do this shit” I’m handy but have worked on mostly old cars. Thank you for helping out bro, great video!!

Very nice video well done. I sincerely thank you for the quality production.

Thank you so much for sharing helpful video. I will change it mine next week

This is a really good video! I also need an impact drill like yours. Makes it a whole heck of a lot easier on these projects.

Awesome video!!! Keep up the good work

I have a 2005 denali yukon it is leaking oil but I have to say this is a good truck it has almost 400,000 miles on it still looks good and runs strong but naturally the gaskets need replacing after that many miles def reccomend this vehicle

Very happy with your work thanks for sharing your uploads it really helps alot of us thanks man

Thank for the details. I need to do that to my wife’s truck.

Bro I love your ink. That's some talented artist who did your ink

Great video 👍 it was very informative with good instructions, thanks again.

Best video on the net for this issue

Great video. Showed where I need to put rtv..No wonder mine was still leaking.

I'm doing mine this weekend on the wife's 2008 Tahoe, but I'm dropping the oil pan to install a AFM oil deflector under the pressure relief valve but I'm gonna go ahead and replace the pressure relief valve too, plus go ahead and put a new oil pick up tube o ring in there. There is a GM service bulletin on the 07-14 Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade, Avalanche, Silverados etc.. with an oil consumption problem due to the PCV system on the driver side valve cover and they have a updated valve cover to replace the old style but that's only half the problem, the other half is to drop the oil pan and install the AFM oil deflector under the pressure relief valve so the oil is directed towards the bottom of the pan instead of getting picked up by the crankshaft and slinging it up on the cylinder walls mainly cylinder #1 and #7 burning a lot of oil and fouling the spark plugs out and cracking them. Came out with AFM for fuel economy purposes but it's nothing but CRAP!!!!

I have 4wd, and I did have to remove the front differential. Everything else worked out according to the video. Thank you!

Very detailed video, replacing my gasket and pickup tube o ring...as I comment...great job.

Hell yeah it help......a shop down the street wanted to charge me $475 just for something this simple!😊😊😊😊

This is the video I need

You doing very good job 👍👍👍👍 Nice video 👌👌👌👌 Very good teaching and very good teacher Thank you so much for your video

Very helpful video though I already knew what to do I wanted to see if I could cut corners somewhere. Also you look like the boy Anomaly on KZfaq. Great vid.

awesome video, surprised you didn't suggest replacing the pick up tube o ring.

the video helped me out good. nice a simple

Thanks! Good instructional Video. I'm doing this tomorrow to change the pickup tube O ring.

Dammit bro that's was like step by step instructions..I'ma do my 03 Yukon XL I have the confidence lol good video man!!

Thanks for the video. Great help.

Thanks for the vid dawg, im looking for a Ford Excursion but i think i got it from this vid. Thanks for the heads up at 10:00. Probably wouldnt have thought of that lol

Thanks a lot, your video really help!

Worked out pretty good thanks bud

Great video. Thank you

Great tutorial video

Thanks a lot bro really helped

Thanks for the vid helpful

I seen in another video about a deflection shield you should put on the AFM valve. It was on a 5.3L engine. GM P/N 12639759. Is this something all engines for these year models need or just the 5.3L. I’m asking because I’m about to change my gasket on a 4.8L and want to take care of it all while I have it apart. What else is worth changing while you have the pan off?

9:48 Make sure to also remove that oil release pressure bolt right underneath the oil filter and replace it with a M14-1.50 oil drain plug it would help you a lot with the oil pressure 👍🏼you welcome guys!!

On the 4wd you also need to turn the wheels to the left or that pan won't come out. I spent about 12 hours figuring that out.

My 13 Tahoe is ticking and I have low pressure (20 at idle, only hit 40 when rpm’s over 2-3k). See a lot of suggestions to replace o ring so trying that. Thanks for the video👍

Very cool tats

Thanks for saving me a ton of cash!

Thank you so much God bless brotha

Grácias muy bien esplicado

About a year ago a “mechanic” replaced my o ring on the pick up tube and changed the oil pan gasket and just last week I saw a few oil spots I got under the truck and saw some of not all bolts that hold the oil pan gasket had oil on them could it be that they aren’t tightened up or did the place the oil pan gasket wrong

great video 👍🏻

Well done video. Could you do oil pump on 07 vintage 6.2/6.0

Im doing mine tomarrow morning cause my oil pressure is dropping i just changed my oil i change the sensor as well bt not helping so im guessing it thes o ring pick up tube in the oil pan

Hell yeah great video!!! I like that its very detailed . That's how you get shit done !

Cool bro damm good👍💯

Great Video- Nice Job! btw how was your neck after all that pulling your head keeping up? My think is I dropped very little blue towel piece while cleaning the CS position sensor, while doing the intake work. Engine still ok pressure increased by 10 but no issues. Oil change didn't solve it. Eventfully I have to remove the pan and check the pickup tube for any signs.

For 4x4 just unbolt the 6 bolts around the front transfer case. 10mm and the 2, 15mm bolts holding it up.. Located on pass side.

Good job. Have u done for the same truck engine oil cooling line gasket?

Great video man I just recently changed out my cam and put a BTR one where you don’t have to upgrade the converter. Put new springs, rods, lifters oil pan and gasket (not the green one as I’ve read) and I still have low oil pressure. Prior to messing with it it had just about 22 warm and about 38 or so on the highway. Now it’s sitting at about 10 or 15. If you have any advice on what to try or do different I’d appreciate it. Been following pretty much everyone else the whole time and have come up short. This is my first time building anything and I’ve done good with everything else just can’t get the oil pressure under control

Great video, 🙏🏻! Also, about how long did this take you on average?

Oil pan bolts is 108 inch lbs more oregano less 8 foot lbs. especially on the two long back ones. They screw into the rear splash plate that holds the rear main seal. If you over torque them you will pull that splash shield down misaligning the rear main seal causing another leak. It may not happen right then but with driving bumps and vibration it is going to happen if you over torque the rear long oil pan bolts. I would say using the impact you put at least 20 fibs on them wich is slightly over double the manufacturer specified torque value.

What brand of Ratchet and impact gun are you using?? Thanks

If this works I will definitely subscribe

Bout to do this on the weekend, did you bolt the screws to the right torque or did you just bolt them down with the impact until snugged and called it a day? Lol

Great video! Question when re intalling the o ring pick up tube to the oil pump. Do you force it in a bit or let the 10mm bolt do its job and let it tighten up on its own?

Damn man, you made that sensor look easy, I cant get my pick in and twist it our.

great viedio very good discription you might remind others to replace the oil pick up o ring while in there

Great video. THanks man

Do I need a torque wrench for this job?

Thank you!!!!!!

Can I get away with squeezing out the oil pan without dropping the rack and pinion? On a 07 tahoe, it looks like I can I’ll have to double check underneath on mine

Cool thanks 🤘😜

Why you take the rack and pinion loose? Do you have too?

Great video, just did this job on my 07 Yukon 2wd, do you have a video replacing rear main seal which is a common problem on these vehicles?

Thanks

I used red RTV on my oil pan on an LS rebuild. After more reading, I have come to believe I probably should have used black. Couple questions for your opinion: (1) Should I change the RTV color to black? Also, the [Fel-Pro] oil pan gasket I used is brand new other than being installed. The engine is still sitting on the stand "dry" other than assembly lube on necessary components. (2) If changing the RTV color is necessary, can I clean off the red RTV, and reinstall using black RTV with the existing new gasket? Or should I replace the oil pan gasket as well?

What is the plate on the bottom of the oil pan for?

I liked this video because of the cute girl talking in the backround.

Why is it so hard to take off my cross bar? I take off the 4 bolts and it's not moving at all

Good ! Splanation ! But why not sillie cone all huv it ?

How important is the screw below the starter? The one the holds the plastic shield in place @jabo the mechanic

also what I needed, but did you say the rack & pinion had to come out? I dont see where its in the way

This is my second attempt 2 oil pan gaskets already hopefully this video helps I’ll let u know

The only thing you forgot was to change the oil pickup tube or ring which is a known failure spot on 5.3 motors.And be a little more specific on torx

Quick question, how long did you wait for the silicone to dry before adding oil back in, I just completed this 5 min ago on my Yukon. Silicone says 24 hr dry time, is that what you did?

What is the sensor on the front of the truck that has a 10 mm bolt I believe holding it in place ??

Omg I just did this the other day and didn't realize I had to put RTV in those crevices. I really dont feel like pulling all of that apart 🤦🏾 will it leak bad if don't?

do i take the bolts out of the rack just so the rack can drop to remove the oil pan

What type silcone was that

Is this 2 wheel drive ?

Hey buddy if I had to do this on a Sierra 4.3 4x4 2015 will I have to lift engine off motor mounts to get to it?

Make sure to loosen steering rack and then remove the right bolt and nut to allow pan clearance. 22mm for those. Torque those bolts to 80 ft lbs, cross member horizontal bolts to 70 ft lbs-vertical bolts to 40-45.

Thank you!

The 2 15 mm go in second to align oil pan. Right after you snug your first two 10 mm

No matter how many videos I see , it looks like a weekend job and a whole lot of cussing , I have the 4x4 waiting for the weather to warm up and I already dread doing this lol

At 3:50 what is that circular part called is it like a plug?

Nice tattoo

how long realtime should it take to complete roughly

Hey what kind of silicon did u used

Awesome video brother! What kind of leak do you see with this failure? I have a very small drip on my floor and it is settling on the rear of the oil pan. It almost looks like a rear main seal leak and I am hoping to God it is not the rear main seal. I was told that there is a cap or lid there near the bell housing that you can pop that off to verify if it the rear main or not but I have not popped that off to look yet. Also mine is a 4WD 2008 suburban. It looks very much like what you just worked on but Is the 4WD much harder? Is working with the 4WD version of this something the do it yourselfer can do?
