Anyone on here get this resolved?   I took mine in last week, 2014 5.3 with 73,XXX miles. Had a light come on and they said it was a couple other things and then ended up finding out it was in fact

Any tell tale signs of vacuum pump failure or is it just no signs and just sudden failure .

My 2014 Sierra 5.3L oil pump failed at 90.000 KM/ 56000 Miles.

This should be a recall or class action lawsuit.

Dealer charged $2875.39 CAD for a 14 hours job.I am pissed for sure.

Complained to GM Canada about it on their facebook page and they told me they were happy to know that my truck is already repaired...

Now I affectionately call it my garbage truck.

That's a real ******, were there any potential warnings like oil pressure changes or whining etc?

Yes for sure,that whining sound and P06DD and AFM disabled and remote start not working because of the P06DD...I knew it was coming but its unacceptable for a truck with low mileage like that.My silverado 2004 had 369.000 KM and original oil pump.2014-2018 oil pump are junk for sure.

I have a 2014 gmc that I just bought. the truck has 95,000 miles on it.  check engine light came on and it throwing a code that the veins in the oil pump is coming apart. still hold 45 to 50 pounds of oil pressure and I have already changed out the oil pressure switch to eliminate that thought. any body else having this issue. also it was 1.5 quarts low of oil..

My oil pump went on my 5.3L 2014 sierra at ~145k miles.  It was throwing P06DD.  Had to get new ECM also, ran me about $3500.  A few months later the 6 speed trans went, another $3,300.. 2019 was not a great year for the truck.

2015 Sierra 1500 Denali with 80,000 miles and got a low oil pressure light on.  Turned the truck off immediately and it towed to GMC where they told me my oil pump blew up, which got into the engine, and now the truck needs a new motor.  Regular maintenance has always been completed, so pretty crappy for a $100 oil pump to blow up and wreck the whole vehicle.

Long shot, but when was the truck put into service (sold new date), maybe you are still in the powertrain warranty.

Out of warranty unfortunately 

Because of the mileage, and the fact the oil pump's have had known issues, I would open a claim with GM to see if you can pick up any assistance on the repair cost.

Hello fellow truck lovers, 2014 silverado 5.3, 0 oil pressure stop engine immediately, sound familiar? Truck has 124,000 miles, never had any oil pressure codes or low oil pressure, all oil changes and services done at dealer since purchased new,  including new tires and even windshield wipers, last oil change was  800 miles ago. Changed pressure sensor and pulled screen under it screen was clean as a whistle still no oil pressure pulled filter started momentarily,  nothing there.  Removed small oil pan cover from bottom of pan, sump screen is clean but fine, what looks to be aluminum more like dust than shavings in pan.  Being that  the oil pumps first to the filter then to the motor and the filter should catch anything that might damage the engine top side and there was nothing in the  screen below the pressure sensor would I be safe to think there was no damage to engine. I probably haven't ran engine 15 seconds with no oil pressure. Is there any chance that GM will assist with any costs being that it is out of warranty.  I can replace the pump myself but if GM will cover anything why wouldn't I let them.  The only problem is that they have to do an evaluation before they will commit to any out of warranty assistance and I need to comit to $2000 before a wrench is turned,  I was told that it depends alot on customer loyalty.  If I do decide to do it myself would it be a good idea to pull a couple of rod caps and see what I see as long as I have them exposed?  What are your thoughts on flushing the engine?  I did notice a slight belt whine the morning I lost oil pressure so I thought about pulling the vac pump and see what it looks like before I go any further.   Any thoughts or recommendations greatly appreciated.

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
