2014 Chevrolet Silverado Work Truck, V8 5.3L, 52,000 miles, had all known recalls (6) performed at Cliff Anschuetz Dealer. All maintenance performed within manufacture specified guide lines here also. Truck never displayed error code or service engine light since purchased new. I purchased it from my brother 6 months ago. I was driving home from work going 45 miles an hour on March 6, 2019, Engine message displayed with beep tone: Oil Pressure Low Turn off Engine. I immediately pulled off, let truck sit for 5 minutes. No oil or fluids where leaking. Oil appeared normal and at proper level did not smell burned. Started engine error code was gone, drove 1 ½ miles to auto repair shop. Same error message appeared after going about 100’. Auto repair shop gave me bad news 3 codes: 1) P0324 Knock Sensor, 2) P0521 Engine Oil Pressure Performance, 3) P06DD Engine Oil Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Stuck Off. Went to Feldman Chevrolet of Highland, Technician told me this should be covered under warranty, had Lakeside Towing delivere my truck there. Feldman will not cover repairs stating out of warranty. Will give me $2000 dollars off on Certi Rebuilt motor $7,200 my cost w/12-month warranty. Salesman there offered me $8000 as trade in. Neither of these are acceptable. Working with GM Complaint Department, they have been given all information. GM has been nice but seems like I am caught in middle between GM and service manager at Feldman. Service manager stating  I have to spend another $3000 to tear apart motor for GM to cover. As of, 4/30/2019, I am awaiting a call back from GM. This seems to be a KNOWN defect in this engine described in so many blogs! Google 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 Engine Failure. Tells you something, GM dropped powertrain warranty down to 60k for 2016-17. As of right now I owe Feldman $970 labor for tear down and removal of the oil pan! Any suggestions on how I should proceed???

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
