Re: Oil Pump ? You'll get varying responses to this one. I didn't replace mine. I, also, had 50K at the cam swap but chose to leave well enough alone. It's your call. Some will say replace it, others wont. Get ready for the responses! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Oil Pump ? I put one in (SLP) when I did the cam.
I wasn't going to,but Speed inc. called
me and said"while the front is apart"...
I said"go ahead" (just for insurance)
It has great pressure.
I'd be mad at myself if the stock one failed.

Re: Oil Pump ? I put a cam in my car and still have the stock oil pump in there. I only have 10,000 miles on it and I have a 2001 model.
I have heard that the oil pump problems were resolved by GM on the later 2000 models. So, hopefully, the 2001's & 02's should be fine.
