Grats! Get hold of a Katech pump and make plans to get it replaced as a proactive measure. I wouldn't even bother waiting for signs. The ROI is peace of mind.

This is great advice. No sense in waiting for the failure and possible engine damage. Get it done now while it is convenient and time is on your side. It is not a question of if it will fail, it is a question of when. Last edited by Rnovrit; 05-19-2024 at 08:46 AM. |

Congratulations Tony on the 2017 ZL1 purchase. I know you will enjoy the drive and the car. My 2017 has over 26,000 miles and so far the oil pump is surviving but keeping a check on the gauge when driving around and fingers crossed that it doesn’t fail.

Thank you all! I will be starting a build thread eventually to outline progress and what not on the car. This is exciting as it is definitely a dream or bucket list car so we will get up to pick her up early in the morning! Should be a nice drive home as well, but definitely going to keep an eye on the oil pressure during the drive. I have been pricing upgrades and various things to do since I will more than likely be keeping the car for a while, and since I do all of my own work that cuts down on cost! At this point I need the next 18ish hours to fly by so I can go see the car!

I still remember the first time I pressed the start button on my 2018 and my little LT1 engine roared to life, then I took the first turn leaving the dealership, gave her some gas, and she purred and pulled nice and strong. Driving the car has been sheer joy ever since Good luck tomorrow when you take delivery

I may only be 34 but I come from building small block and big block Chevrolets where you really need to be concerned if you have oil pressure in the 15 psi range and once it get to 7-10 psi you're going to start hearing lifters. Not only that but some gauges will range in psi depending on where you install the sender. For example on a big block you can install right above the filter which will give you a higher reading or you can install right above the oil pan in any of the many galley plugs and the further away from the pump you get towards the front of the motor you'll see a lower reading. It's interesting to me how there is such a variance in the newer LT4s however.

Congrats, Tony. Many years of safe driving. I would consider the oil pump swap. Did you get the original rear spoiler in the package? Anyway, the ZL1 spoiler alone is worth 4-5K. We have the color in common.

Unfortunately, the original spoiler was not included with the car. I wish it was, but I will need to find one if I ever decide to let her go possibly. Yes we have the color in common and it is really a fantastic color!

Your options at this point, if you want a standard ZL1 spoiler as backup, are eBay, junkyards or buying a different color spoiler (part numbers ranging from 84224808 to 84224817) and asking a body shop to refinish it using GM paint color code GD1 (WA388A).

I work with plenty of restoration ships so if I ever needed to replace the spoiler or buy the original ZL1 spoiler and have it painted then I can easily do so and have it painted. I will say though I know why GM changed to the camera for the rear view mirror in the antenna in 2019... "a guy can't see nothin'" - Vice Grip Garage I love it and wouldn't change it though!
