    My 2005 GMC Envoy has 171,000+ miles on it. After running for about 15min or so, when I'm at idle at a redlight my oil pressure drops, but if I put it in neutral and rev the engine it goes back up. I checked the oil level while warm and it was good. Most of my parts are in good shape as I've...

    Hi, I am new to this site and thought that I would try asking you folks. Recently, my 2006 Trailblazer was making an odd somewhat nocking noise as I was driving home from work. Shortly after the noise began, the oil pressure went to zero and the engine seized up or shut down. I had it towed...

    Bought my 06 trail blazed from auction about a year ago with 167000 miles. Right off the bat I had an oil pressure problem. Change oil and filter with mobile 1 syntactic this helped keep pressure up for the most part; but it always takes a few seconds for the needle to pop up and the lifters to...

    A year ago I replaced the cooling fan clutch and fan as well as the radiator in my 2002 Trailblazer. I've recently started having the same problems with the vehicle as I had a year ago. The problems are: when idling at a stop light, in traffic, etc, car begins to run hot and the oil pressure...

    Hello all. I am so glad I found this site. Having and issue with oil pressure. Yesterday it was reading between 60-80 and now it is just buried in the 80 mark. Even when the engine is off it reads 80 psi. I know that there is no pressure when the motor is off so it must be the guage. I...
