if I have to replace my oil pump before summer ends I’m going to start mailing GM parcels of piss
#spext#fuck meee fuck meeee it better just be my sending unit or BETTER YET my stupid little piece of shit fake dummy gauge#bc god knows GM never bothered ACTUALLY making half their gauges show real information#I wouldn't be UPSEt that the oil pump went out on an engine with almost 200k on it but I 1. don't have the money 2. hate the idea of#driving 200 mi to houston to do it 3. don't have the time off and#4. don't want to do it in 110F heat#it doesn't help that it's a bottom-of-the-engine replacement and I believe it sits under#my fucking crankcase pulley which OH BROTHER that's a big bitch to pull#so I have to lift her and really make sure she's STABLE bc I'm going to be yanking that shit around from underneath and I do NOT feel like#having my fucking ribs crushed in th eprocess#mad pissed angry mad pissed angry angry mad pissed#I dunno if the pick up tube is a cheaper fix if that's all it is but it still necessitates the pulling of the fucking pump probably#and at that point like I may as fucking well just do the whole thing UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU#unless I can get to it by pulling the oil pan#my oil pressure doesn't make sense which is why I'm HOPING it's actually something topside bc it bounces like fucking crazy and sometimes#goes up when I give it more gas and sometimes it drops and can hit zero but the engine still turns just fine#despite power being cut substantially (partially bc there's an in-built killswitch in these cars where if the sending unit sensor doesn't#detect oil it'll limp and shut off the engine to prevent damage and I know this bc my fucking stupid little#piece of shit sensor snapped in half so it would loll about and sometimes lose contact with the membrane to detect pressure and just shut#off randomly until I pulled over and the force of hitting my brakes from 80 mph would shove it#back in place like that little fucker was just FLOPPING around back there and it is a metal cylinder the size of a lugnut socket#) but it makes me real fucking nervous bc I do not know EXACTLY what a shot oil pump#will do when it really goes all the way out on my engine but I do NOT have the money to rebuild her#and I would rather kill myself than get a new car she's my fucking BABY#GUH.
