2/23/2022 as I was about to leave work this happened “low oil pressure warning shut down engine alert”. I turned off the engine and had the vehicle towed to the dealership. Since the vehicle is out of warranty and they found small metal particles in the oil pan they recommend an engine replacement for $8000.00. The price for replacement of just the oil pump $2800.00 plus diagnostics another $375.00 for a total of $3200.00 plus tax. I have taken care of this truck changing the oil regularly.    I saw on this forum another 2014 was under warranty and the dealer would only change the oil pump. What do you think??? .. replace the pump and run it for another 75k or trade before bigger problems. Thanks to all of you who will respond.

Sorry to hear this. How many miles on your truck? what oil had you used & how often was it changed?

I'm sorry you're going through that. I just bought a 2014 today and within hours of pulling off the lot it has a whining noise and check engine light. 113k. What other symptoms besides the alert do you have? I'm hoping we are not in the same boat (no offense). I kind of spent my last cash getting into this truck. I'm hoping it's a fuel pump for me. Check engine light is on and exhaust is lean.

2014 GMC with 79K. Just spent $2K due to low oil pressure error from sending unit pressure sensor. No clue what these moronic engineers were thinking! This sensor is integrated into the oil pump which they run the crankshaft through. So the front differential, oil pan,  and crankshaft have to be dropped just to change the pump and sensor. 16 hours labor! Just ridiculous!

2008 Silverado K1500 WT 4.8 LTR 170k miles here. I just finished replacing oil pickup tube and oil pump due to low oil pressure. Still not fixed. Today I'm replacing the Oil Pressure Sensor (Top rear driver's side of engine). I should have done that first but reading on the net showed oil pickup tube o-ring could have been the issue and oil pump relief valve could be stuck. It was neither. My last hope is that is the Oil Pressure sensor. After this it's getting towed to dealership. It was a ton of work to do all of this work by myself.

 

While I was replacing that I also replaced the Water Pump, Belts, Hoses. Front Main seal, new Oil Pan and new Crankshaft Bolt. So at least I know that is not the problem.

 

I too had a metal shaving in the pickup tube screen. Nothing major in the pan. I don't feel that a few metal shavings should constitute an entire new engine. Now if there were metal chunks ok but shavings to me are part of an engine wearing.

 

Have you tried replacing the Oil Pressure Sensor yet? This is the absolute first thing I would do if I had to do it all over again.

 

And to answer your question I would definitely replace the pump and keep the truck.

I just looked online and your Oil Pressure Sensor is located bottom left of the throttle body looking towards the front of the vehicle. Where obscur156 is pointing in his video.

I'm starting to consider the same thing. Piece of junk engines. I loved my engine before this. Now with this problem I'm reading all these stories and this is ridiculous. Sadly I'm starting to think going Toyota. But I need to read up on any issues with their engines. I just heard their car engines are running 300k miles easily. I need something like that and not have to worry about dumb things breaking.

I have had good luck with no Engine and Transmission issues with me 2014 but yeah it is glitchy and worrisome you see and hear so much about them. And yes while any thing mechanical can fail you have a much better chance to not go back to the dealer with a Toyota or a Honda. Love my Truck but don't trust it.

We have the same issue on a 2014 GMC Sierra with 75k miles. Oil pump failed and took the motor with it. Is GM standing behind these faulty motors?

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
