Hey guys, I've seen good many posts about low oil pressure but not many listed a resolution. I hope this provides a quick reference.
-recently bought a '97 C1500, 5.7, 5 speed, 3.42 POSI.
-low oil pressure at idle (actually showing about zero), triggering "check gauges" light
-previous owner recently installed "aftermarket" oil pressure switch
-removed high filtering Bosch oil filter, installed AC Delco oil filter, NO CHANGE AT ALL
-installed new GM Genuine Parts 19244500 Engine Oil Pressure Sensor
-PROBLEM RESOLVED
-truck now has no less than 18 lbs at hot extended idle such as waiting thru multiple red lights in 85 degree weather.
Thanks much, G
