Work out of my garage/driveway
When I ran shops and needed to get the story behind the vehicle problem, the first thing I always did was ask the driver that drives the vehicle the most and/or experiences the problem the most, whoever it may be, male or female, to tell me the story. I would make notes and when they were done... -

2001 Tahoe high presure on low side of A/C
It does sound low on refrigerant. What is the ambient temp when doing this?- ORVietVet

P1441 EVAP code
Welcome to your first post on the forum. Do what @99Sierra2500 said. Stop throwing parts at it. That year, the problem is likely related to clogged lines and a charcoal cannister needing replacement. When the system has no CEL, what is your "fill up the tank" procedure? SHOULD, put the nozzle...- ORVietVet

Potential oil pressure sensor leak
If you unplug it, look/feel for wet right under where it plugs in at. If is wet, it is leaking. It can leak elsewhere but that is a good starting spot. When you do unplug it, LOOK with a mirror and light before you touch it. If you have a borescope, even better. Another likely place is the back...- ORVietVet

Yes. I believe the only exception is either a 2wd or maybe even a shallow pan set up. I recently did a 2018 4x4 Suburban, with the 6 speed transmission and all I had to do was unbolt the transmission mount and wiggled the pan out the back and sideways.- ORVietVet

Ok, the deep pan means it needs more clearance at the back area where you snake the pan out. Pull out the back and to the side at same time. I have yet to have to take an exhaust loose to get a pan out.- ORVietVet

Loose steering
It's right there and a PITA to get to. If I am gonna cram in that far to do that bottom column bearing, the cross bolt it hangs on is right there. The push rod for m/cyl. Has to be disconnected to drop the brake pedal and the switch is right there. I have done the bushing on a 2005 Tahoe. Tight...- ORVietVet

Also, post a pic of the bottom of the pan. To be sure of shallow or deep. Makes a difference on the filter. If the vehicle has rusted exhaust nuts/bolts, it's a nightmare if any breaks, rusted or not rusted.- ORVietVet

If you are unsure about the clearance, I would borrow or rent a floor jack, just in case. Sometimes you have to use small blocks of wood to get enough height for the jack to jack up at the tail of the transmission. You only want to jack up to get enough room for clearance. Do it slow and a...- ORVietVet
