Waterdawg      Waterdawg New Member      My well maintained 2000
Suburban 2500 with Vortec 6 liter and tow package has about
200,000 miles and is reading an oil pressure at the gauge around
70psi, which seems weirdly high to me. My mech says to count my
blessing but I recently read about an oil regulator valve in the
oil pump that can fail (usually failing in the closed position
blocking flow) and I wondered if it may not be stuck wide open
and if it might be an issue or a blessing. Or maybe just a
faulty gauge?      It's my toy hauler that pulls our 10,000lb
boat/trailer (below) so maybe high pressure is ok as my mech
says??      Any thoughts would be great, especially positive
ones saying it's a beautiful thing.      Thanks in advance, Mike
