quick oil pump question.

I have a 2001 camaro that cam with the LS6 intake so does that mean GM put the ls6 oil pump in it too.

Or is it just the LS1 pump?

Good to hear, do you guys think i should change it when i do my cam swap or just keep it in there. It has 40,000 on it. I did a search and got so many mixed opinions on the subject.

I would say since you already have the LS6 pump I wouldn't change it. I had a Ls1 pump so I changed mine and mine had right at 100,000 miles on it.

Pump

There is no such thing as an LS6 pump. The new # is 12586665 and there is only 1 pump listed for the LS1/LS6. This was as of yesterday when my new arrived.

you're right, and wrong. its not so much that its an "LS6" pump, so much as they first came on the ls6 motors and 2001+ f and y body ls1's. it was a design shift that they have implemented across the board, and now they should ONLY be selling/shipping the new design, so if you buy the new pump you should be ok. thats why some people who run the part #'s on their "ported ls6 oil pumps" come up w/2001+ corvette part numbers.

Are the truck motor pumps any different? My information says they are all the same until they are ported or the spring changed or shimmed? Anyone know any different?
