Bump...

 

My 2014 Sierra 5.3L is popping P06DA and PO6DD consistently. Started one morning a couple weeks ago all of a sudden. Oil pressure runs about 20 psi higher than it used to. From reading in these forums, youtube, etc, seems like the likely culprit is the oil pressure solenoid. My truck has over 221K miles, so the labor to replace the solenoid seems to make it logical to replace the engine when it's time to do something. 

 

However, in the meantime, is there really any problem with the oil pressure running a little high? I think I'm going to just keep driving it as is until something worse develops. Power is normal, runs as well as it ever has. 

 

I've replaced the oil pressure sensor and that made no difference... I'm also going to replace the bank 1 upstream O2 sensor... one guy fixed his by doing that... apparently that O2 sensor is on the same circuit as the oil pressure solenoid. Fixed his. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

Thoughts?

Had another member reply back with this on an exact post with different members today: Hey, A P06DD is a Engine Oil Pressure Control Solenoid Valve Performance. Lets talk about this for a moment

If the harness going to the solenoid is working ok, its time for an oil pump.     As for O2 sensor, I suppose only because both upstream O2 sensors are powered off the same fuse as the oil p

Soooo, I drove the truck about 500 miles this week, no time to change the sensor. About 450 miles into the drive oil pressure went back to normal... and no more P06DA/DD codes. Looks like the solenoid

If you are gonna shotgun an O2 sensor, buy OEM only.  Don't buy an OE equivalent or one that says same part as OE either.  GM are VERY sensitive to oxygen sensors.

Will do, thx. I'll update after the O2 sensor shotgun. My expectations are low...

Seems obvious now, but I put oil conditioner in the oil the last couple oil changes (seemed like a good idea for a >200K mile engine). I changed the oil with straight 0W-20 synthetic when the P06DD/DA started...

 

Now I'm thinking the oil conditioner gummed up the solenoid and it took 450 miles to wash the conditioner out of the solenoid with fresh oil. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

Anyway, I'll not be using any additives from now on. Super happy it looks like I have more miles left in this engine.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
