What’s the oil pressure on a GMC Truck?
When I got it pulled over and stopped, the gauge was just staying maxed no matter the speed. Once it was stopped I let it sit and put the key into accessory after a while and noticed the gauge went from 0 (when it was turned off) to 80 before the engine was even running – just in accessory. Now, how in the hell could that be?
What kind of oil does a GMC Silverado have?
Truck is a 2003 Silverado with approx. 110,000 on it. Yep. First thing to look at. Do check your oil, of course, but I’m sure that’s fine. Light came on due to a red area reading.
Can a stepper motor cause low oil pressure?
Stepper motor only affects the analog gauge’s needle, not warning lights and chimes. Your cousin has low oil pressure or a failed sender. ok, i can see the sensor, touch the sensor but all my tools are in storage since we are moving on tuesday to colorado so i cant actually get it out to replace it.
What’s the oil pressure on a Chevy Silverado 5.3?
My 5.3 is normally at 40-41 psi at idle. It was low at about 26 ish. Today when I was driving it suddenly went to 80psi and at idle around 76. When I turned the truck off and just turn the key on it goes up to about 43psi. But when starting up shoots back up to 80 psi. When key is off it goes back down to 0psi.

Where is the oil pressure sensor on a Silverado?
It is on the top of the block on the driver side behind the intake manifold and has a wire connector plugged in to the top of it. It is more likely the sender and not a stepper motor, especially if all the other steppers are working correctly. Plus, it is much easier to change the sensor than a stepper motor. Went and bought a sending unit.
