I've had a problem with the oil light coming on, usually just when I stop hard. But then goes away when I hit the gas. Figured I would just replace the sensor. But Ive been told that after the sensor that the oil pump went out. Anyone else ran into this problem? Or found a solution

Oil level is confirmed right where it should be? I know it sounds common sence, but it doesn't hurt to ask to make sure.

I had the same thing happen but with my old truck.It was my oil pump that was bad.

There is a TSB for this, fix is an oil pan without a baffle and a new oil pump.

I am experiencing what seems to be the same problem but my truck is an 06 z71, should I be looking elsewhere for the problem?
