Ding Ding Ding....Oil Pressure Low

[alldunn]

We load the truck up with presents heading out to visit family start it up and pull out of the garage and ding ding ding....the fcuking oil pressure is low. I immediately turn it off get out and check the oil and everything is fine. Get in start it again, same thing. So I backed back into the garage and left it. Mileage is 36,102 but I beleive the dealership will help me out on this one. I will have to wait until Monday to get a rollback to take it up. I had just washed it this morning and drove it and everything was fine. Too weird. I feel like it is the oil pump because I can hear the lifters chattering now. I know some of you have had the same problem. What are your thoughts?

Anybody know if there is a TSB on this? I had it towed to the dealership today, but they said they probably wouldn't get a chance to get in it until tomorrow. Just wanted some ammunition in case they try to screw me and tell me they won't pay for it.

Interesting....that means I am 2 miles over warranty. I am waiting on a call back from the dealer to tell me what is up with it. What's not to say that it went out @ 36,099 and I had to get it home which was only 2 or 3 miles...

EDIT: Just got a call from the dealer and they said they feel like it is the oil pump, but haven't pulled the oil pan yet and will do that today or tomorrow morning. He told me not to worry about the warranty because he felt like GM would cover that without a problem, so that makes me feel a little better. Still sucks having this problem right at warranty expiration....almost seems like it is rigged.
