To prime a new oil pump in a 2001 Chevy Tahoe with a 5.3L engine, first, remove the spark plugs to relieve compression. Then, use a drill with an oil pump primer tool to rotate the oil pump drive shaft, allowing oil to circulate through the pump and the engine. Continue this process until you see oil at the rocker arms or oil pressure on the gauge. Finally, reinstall the spark plugs and start the engine, checking for proper oil pressure.
