Has anyone had experience with this code popping up on their truck?

 

What is the cause and effect of this code/issue? What is the repair that you had to do?

 

Where about on the engine is this solenoid valve located?

 

Is it safe to drive or would I be running the risk of burning up my engine? (Yes, obviously I am going to get it taken care of. Just curious is all)

 

I recently had my transmission rebuilt, is it possible that the mechanic shop could have caused this? I had zero engine issues prior to them touching my truck.

 

I drive a 2016 Chevy Silverado Z71 5.3L V8

 

Any information is welcomed!

If its truly the solenoid its an easy fix.  Part is about 150 bucks and an hour of labour.

 

However, This is exactly how the oil pump failure shows.

 

I would get the work done to change the solenoid.  If you get the code back its the oil pump.

 

The oil pump is cheap but its something like 17 hours to replace.

 

Dont wait.  An oil pump failure turn into a motor replacement very very quickly.

How many miles on your truck? How frequently do you change your oil?

P06DD in GM land, high probability it needs an oil pump.  Why?  GM doesn't sell the solenoid separately, its serviced only with the pump.

 

It appears the aftermarket makes a solenoid for it now though???  If so, start there.

sorry but the oil pump solenoid is not a simple job.  the part is cheap, only $15 at rockauto.com but requires a lot of work.  its around a 4-5 hour job.  all fluids drained, front engine cover off.  its not an hour job. 

 

I was having the code but also had a lifter explode.  I had the dod delete kit installed and a new oil pump and solenoid installed at the same time.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
