2014 GM Truck 5.3 Oil Pump Replacement Code P06DD

[@nolimitrc1]

This is the actual fix .. if your code always comes back even after you replaced the oil with correct oil and filter replaced the oil pressure switch and especially if you had a failed ocs (vvt solenoid)that may have even broken then for sure this is your only fix unfortunately the amount of work involved but I’m sure many of us watching this is mechanically inclined and this is a helpful motion picture service guide as I call them! Bosses can say what ever they want about KZbin but when there is a video showing you an experienced technician perform a procedure that you can follow and see and get pro tips on the way then why the heck not!! Sucks the oil pan is shitty to remove but it is what it is!

Had this code on my 2015 Sierra 5.3 . Had 3 oil pumps replaced under warranty within 4.5 months . I talked to the service manager and asked if there is an updated part to stop this from happening . He said no . So this will continue to happen .... I traded the truck off the next day for a truely to reliable truck .... Tundra !

Thanks for the video! It took me 12 hours from driving on the lift to engine start up. I did the timing set while in there but it looked good for 170k miles, the chain didn’t seem worn compared to the new one, but glad I replaced it. I struggled with the differential install, get some help if you can! For oil priming I pulled the fuses for injectors and ignition. Thanks again!

[@PhillipBailey]

Glad you got it done. I use a transmission jack to help lift the differential into place. Good job!

Next time for priming all you have to do is press the pedal to the floor and crank the engine. That enters "clear flooding" mode and turns off the injectors. Try it.

[@neilo510]

GREAT detailed video. I just ordered all my parts (listed at 16:00) from gmpartsdirect for $175 USD with shipping. When you say the water pump is separate from the housing, does it mean it can stay? or still have to drain coolant and all to get the timing cover off still?

Professional work reflected from experience. Thank you for this video. I have a problem with oil pressure, sometimes normal and sometimes as low as 70 when idle. Do changing the oil pressure sensor and PVC valve think that it solves the problem? Because if not and changing oil pump is a must then it is out of mu hand. My garage is not equipped with a crane, so the only way is to work on the ground with the car being raised some inches higher.

[@PhillipBailey]

For what it's worth you could try changing the oil pressure sender but I doubt that will help. Not the PCV though. Good luck.

Thanks for the feedback. This video is quite popular for sure.

[@rogercannon5993]

You should put the harmonic balancer on before you tighten the cover all the way down if you do it that way it centers the seal on the harmonic balancer

[@PhillipBailey]

Yes you are correct since there are no dowel pins between the cover and block to ensure the seal is centered but I felt that since each one of the cover bolts has that small insert on it that it would not make much difference. Additionally the service procedure doesn't mention doing this either. I know it was important on some engines though.

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

at the same time ford also did powdered metal oil pumps. Do they plan these failures together ?

[@edctravisg]

Hey just did this everything turned out pretty good thank you! The only issue I had was the crank bolt specs. Followed instructions and when tried to turn bolt to the 200 degrees part couldn't. Maybe got 90 degrees at most and that was cranking with a big breaker bar. Big guy on a big breaker and it wasn't going. Think that's ok?

[@PhillipBailey]

Yes its ridiculously tight. I was using a 4 foot 1/2" Snapon power bar. It will likely be ok if you used locktight. Maybe a piece of pipe on the power bar. I marked the bolts location on the balancer where I started and where 200 degrees was approximately 180 plus another 20.

[@edctravisg]

@@PhillipBailey that's awesome thanks maybe I'll have another go at it. or does that red stuff that's on the head of the new bolt count as loctite? I didn't use anything on the threads

[@TheGumbi22]

Well if you're looking for another one to do by all means. I'm not quite sure what's wrong with mine but my oil pressure sits very high randomly while I drive which sets the check engine light on. I'm gonna replace the oil pressure sensor and PVC valve and hope that's the issue. Whenever I clear the code the oil pressure drops back down to regular levels for awhile and may shoot back up or not. So I'm hoping it's not the oil pump

[@PhillipBailey]

Do you know what fault code it sets when the MIL comes on?

[@TheGumbi22]

It's the p06DD

[@TheGumbi22]

@@PhillipBailey but like I said if I hook the scanner up to it even while I'm driving and clear the code the oil pressure goes back to normal and will stay normal for a day or so... Usually the code comes on when I really hammer on the gas. But if I drive it like a Granny it'll stay off and the pressure is fine. Usually when it shifts it shoots up very high through the first 2 gears like up to 80PSI, driving it normal.

[@PhillipBailey]

@@TheGumbi22 Likely the pressure control solenoid is failing. unfortunately that is on the oil pump. You can change the solenoid but it requires the oil pump be removed to access it. I'd recommend to replace the entire oil pump given the work involved. It should not hurt anything driving with higher than normal pressure in my opinion. Occasionally the pump itself will fail and result in low or no oil pressure which is obviously not good.

[@PhillipBailey]

@@TheGumbi22 once the ECM sets a code it defaults to maximum pressure. Clearing codes resets the system again until the desired and actual pressure differ by a specific amount. Then the code sets again. Likely the solenoid is sticking like I said earlier.

In 2014 after a night of heavy drinking I went to the chevy house and bought 3 2014 Silverados with the V-6 engine. Except for a glass of wine at Christmas I haven't had a drink since. But, l have been paying for that every year since in repair bills on premature wear and/or issues that were mentioned in numerous TSBs from GM.....the biggest and most frequent expense with these 3 trucks are cracked exhaust manifolds...again and again...

[@subatomicparticle6535]

My shop manual procedure for the engine oil pump re/re it doesn't say to remove the oil pan on the 5.3L L83 and I just read a thread below asking why you had to remove the oil pan. It looks like the oil pump gasket is of sufficient length that it will just slot into the groove and is not fastened together like it is on the 6.0L LC8/L96 engines in the 2500 trucks that does state to remove the oil pan.

[@PhillipBailey]

You could be right. I was going by what I was told was necessary. I'm going to recheck the procedure...

[@PhillipBailey]

Just read the procedure from GM. Says remove front cover, see front cover removal, go to that hyperlink and first step is remove upper oil pan, see oil pan removal... let us know if you get it done without removing the pan. The oil pump pickup gasket needs to be compressed quite a bit and tge electrical connector on the solenoid would be a bit challenging.

[@subatomicparticle6535]

@@PhillipBailey Appreciate the quick reply. I don't actually have to do the job just came across your video and then read my manual to see. Just watched a couple more videos on this and both also removed the oil pan, one guy said he just lowered it enough to pull the pump off but still had to remove all the same items you did. I wonder if the trans mount bolts were loosened, engine mount bolts removed and then raise the engine up a bit would that be enough to gain access to the pan bolts and allow it to drop enough just to slide the pump gasket off past the pickup tube elbow and of course like you say the connector!

[@PhillipBailey]

@@subatomicparticle6535 I think to seal the oil pan properly you need to remove it as it's sealed with a bead of RTV sealant. I would not want to end up with an oil leak afterwards. If the pan used a reusable gasket possibly dropping it slightly might be an option.

Or is high oil preasure a major issue? I just don't want them to spend a butload of their time chasing the wrong thing.

[@PhillipBailey]

The solenoid can fail either way causing higher oil pressure or lower oil pressure.

[@rainbowdashieness]

@Phillip Bailey ah, awesome. Thanks for the quick reply! (Tbh rather it be stuck high than low lol)

[@dannyarellano86]

If you need to just change the timing chain gasket, oil pan removal necessary?

[@PhillipBailey]

Yes you are supposed to drop the oil pan. It's difficult to get at the oil control solenoid connector

[@bronson2585]

Man I had a customers cars that had this code. There is power at the solenoid. Put in a new GM pump and solenoid and still have the same code after a few miles. Had to bite bullet and refund him labor cost. But I am interested in know what the actual problem could be. Unless these pumps just not good

[@PhillipBailey]

This code sets when desired oil pressure is above or below actual oil pressure. Oil quality can cause this but I'm sure you changed the oil when you did the pump. Low Oil pressure for any reason can also cause it. Try to command the oil pressure with a scan tool while observing on the scanner. Check actual oil pressure with a manual gage.

I just had these done oil pump timing chain was raddiling they showed me the parts oil pump had a hole worn in it from timing chain tensioner went bad chain was rubbing against oile pump tensioner was in peaces and word of advice ther is a wire that runs the oil pump silinode it gets oil on it and is very thin would recommend changing it cus it gets oil on it and if it brakes after all the work is done u will have to do it all over again so change the small wireing harness too 2,581 for job dealership wanted 5,700 so it u got Po6DD code get your wallet out

I just bought a 2014 5.3L from the North-West Territorites Government... as is-where is silent auctin....It has been sitting for over a year. When I start it up it has good oil pressure until oil temperature nears 80C then It starts dropping off to I would guess below 10PSI as the low pressure shut down message comes up. It has oil pressure again once you apply power.accelerate etc and It does have the P06dd code and P0521. Do you think it is worth putting in fresh oil and filter and seeing if that solves it? or is that an oil pump for sure?

[@PhillipBailey]

Sorry I just saw this comment. It can't hurt to try an oil change for what that's worth but unless the oil is contaminated with fuel and super thin I doubt it will help. Good luck.

I was hoping that this was an electric issue, so I run the engine few times until I heard some noise and then I stop and didn't run it again. Do you think I need to check crankshaft bearings and piston rods? Also is there any possibility that pump can be replaced without taking off oil sump?

[@PhillipBailey]

Isn't the 4.3 a V6? Not sure its the same but pump cannot be replaced without oil pan and oil pump pickup removal. Not properly anyways. I'd start by checking oil level and quality, tge actual oil pressure test with a mechanical gage. Could be engine time...

[@bednarcuk]

@@PhillipBailey Thank you for your reply. Yes it is a v6, but I'm scared that I will destroy an engine if I crank it again. The last time I heard some noise, I immediately turned off the engine. I'm not sure what noise is that, maybe lifters or something. What I fear most is that the engine is seized. Just for your information a week or two before this happen, the sound of my engine was changed and I had a feeling something falling apart but no engine light no nothing.

@@bednarcuk I trust you have confirmed oil level and quality? Is so the I'm afraid you need to put a manual gage on it and check the actual oil pressure. I'm not sure where tge oil press sender is on the 4.3. You have no choice but to start it to confirm no or low pressure. Yes you.may have already done significant damage but you could just have a lifter problem causing the noise and may not be oil pressure. Good luck

I just replaced the oil pump on a 2015 GMC 4.3. After removing the old pump, I opened it up and found it in pieces. The engine had 36k miles on it. Installed new pump and all is well. The lifters were clattering in it also. I primed the entire oil system with a oil primer before starting the engine after the repair. You must remove the oil pan to replace the oil pump.

[@theduses]

@@donshort6651 did you need to move the steering gear to get the pan to drop?

[@6Sanchize6]

Why do you need to remove oil pan? The ls trucks had a bolt on the pickup tube that went on the underside of the oil pump. Do these trucks have the same bolt because the pickup in the pan looks different?

[@PhillipBailey]

The oil pump pickup is integrated with the oil pan. There is an oval o ring between the pump and the pan. You might be able to cheat and just lower the pan slightly to slide the pump out the front. I'd be afraid of the pan gasket leaking if it wasn't replaced.

[@PhillipBailey]

Actually the oil pan is sealed by RTV sealer so once disturbed needs to be thoroughly cleaned and resealed. The oil pump pickup is seen at 13:40 in the video.

[@riley123ize]

I had the same code, but also had the truck say low oil pressure and to not drive anymore , mechanic saying may need a engine swap, does this sound correct?

[@PhillipBailey]

It could be just the pump but I've seen where the pump fails and contaminates the whole engine. If the engine oil has sparkles in it they are probably correct. That engine is a PITA to replace. 23 hours just to r and r.

[@jimmypage4162]

It's under warranty but go figure a certain part isn't, the 02 sensor. That's 60 dollars so I say whatever. A day later now all the sudden a new code is coming up, one for the oil pump and it's going to cost over 2 grand. It's just odd to me that my check engine light comes on the day I get it back from them and it'll cost damn near 2500 dollars to fix all included after tax.

[@PhillipBailey]

You didn't mention what the recall was for. Could be related if they updated software in the PCM possibly as part of the recall. Otherwise just shit luck.

[@noesanchez3021]

Is this the same process for a 2015 Yukon Denali 6.2?

[@PhillipBailey]

I'm sure it's similar but not 100%. Check out the service information here: Alldatadiy.com Not free but worth it in my opinion.

Is the new pump a better different design? Or its the same as original

[@PhillipBailey]

As far as i know it's the same design.

[@RideOrangeKTM]

@@PhillipBailey thats a bummer. I just had this code today P06DD. 2017 5.3 . Im actually taking a mecanic course in college right now but luckely my truck is still warranty. Its quite a job, i think as an apprentice it would be a challenge to do it alone. You are a very good mecanic. Thanks for sharing the video. Ill be hoping gm doesnt put the same oem pump and hopefully have a better design.

@@PhillipBailey thanks I over looked it. Currently doing a complete DOD delete with a cam and l83 to l86 swap on my 2014 Silverado.

[@mph5896]

Dang. I haven't touched the internals of the L83 yet. Plenty of experience with the earlier 5.3l. The real early ones I cheated and was able to get the bolt out of the pump without dropping the pan. Then the 07+, the pan needed to come off. I think I will at least try to cheat on these without dropping the pan. 😉🤣 Also, looks like an oil pump alignment tool is sold. No need for that?

[@PhillipBailey]

Good luck let us know how you fare.

[@alfredoperez5665]

How do u know it was the pump and not the oil pressure sensore

[@PhillipBailey]

Because the pressure was not changing when commanding it up and down with the scan tool.

[@johnlexus1]

Do you have to drop the oil pan completely to remove the timing cover? Thanks

[@PhillipBailey]

To remove just the timing cover I believe you could leave the oil pan on but to remove the oil pump no the pan must be removed.

[@johnlexus1]

@@PhillipBailey I will let you know if it works, thank you !

[@buddyrebel_Garcia]

@@PhillipBailey I actually didn’t take the oil pan off to remove the oil pump. I just dropped it and was able to unclip the harness attached to it.

[@PhillipBailey]

@@buddyrebel_Garcia I would be worried about it leaking afterwards as I believe it uses RTV sealant.

[@thisoldrednecksgarage4288]

What was the torque spec on the cam bolt

[@PhillipBailey]

I never removed the cam bolt. If you meant the crank bolt holding the balancer on that is 89 ftlbs then loosen it and retorque to 59ftlbs then 200 degrees with a new bolt.

[@Airman..]

Good job 👏

[@alfredoperez5665]

My oil pressure is at 21 at idle but when i move it goes to 40 is that normal

[@PhillipBailey]

If you speed up the engine it is normal for it to increase

[@jake-c2o8l]

What kind of synthetic gear oil did you use ?

[@PhillipBailey]

Valvoline 75/90 just cause it's a little stickier than 5w20. Helps to prime the pump faster. Just my opinion. I've also used GM engine oil supplement which is about the same viscosity.

[@jeffersonstateofmind4057]

Anybody get slight overheating condition over 3000 rpms, while also having lower oil pressure than normal at idle?

[@TheChrisgralnic]

No oil pump alignment ?

[@PhillipBailey]

I believe that's only required if you are reinstalling the original pump. On this 2014 the service information did not mention it.

[@jcarlos435]

I got the P06DD code. I just bought this truck with this code like a month ago, and I got no increase or decrease on the oil pressure, then replace the oil pressure sensor but the light still there. After I watch a lot of KZbin videos and researching all the possible causes of the problem I know I have to replace the oil pump. I think the. The real question here is if somebody can turn off the solenoide and the code can come up? (Its just another possible solution before I start takin apart everything.) I have to take it to a shop and ask to check the pump solenoide whit the scanner as you did it after the replacement of the pump.

[@PhillipBailey]

The only way to get the light off without fixing the actual problem would be to reflash the ECM to have it disable the setting of tge code. An aftermarket tuner may be able to accomplish this but I doubt it. EFI live could do this if you can initially read the tune in tge ECM. Gm has started to make the ECMs write only to stop tuning efforts. I know this is true on the diesels but not sure on tge gas ECMs. Your probably going to have to change the oil pump.

[@claudepaquette6723]

est ce que la sonde de pression huile peut empêché à l'huile de monter

[@claudepaquette6723]

un 1500 2015

[@claudepaquette6723]

moteur 5.3

[@PhillipBailey]

Pas trop sûr de ce que vous demandez. Si le solénoïde tombe en panne, il se peut qu'il ne contrôle pas correctement la pression d'huile. Si la pompe tombe en panne, vous pouvez avoir une perte totale de pression d'huile. Vous devriez mettre une jauge manuelle sur la pression d'huile au cas où l'expéditeur aurait échoué.

[@Riccsoon]

can it be the issue to mine 2019dodge dodge grand caravan. po6dd

[@PhillipBailey]

The Dodge uses a similar 2 stage oil pump controlled by a solenoid. After checking it appears the most common cause for this code on the Caravan is an incorrect oil filter. Check the oil level quality and make sure the proper oil filter is installed. HTH

Hi, I have a 15 yukon with the 5.3, recently here in canada we had -30 Celsius around -45 with wind chill, after few days of starting and running in those days now at start up truck has a low power steering type sound, and can be heard when accelerating with rpms, thing is my oil pressure never before went below 3 quarters but now at idle when warm is at about 20 psi (at quarter) just today I had the p06dd code pop up the low power steering like noise is still there, before the cold and this code the truck ran very quiet but now sounds loud, could the oil pump have failed? I have been running 5w30 with a k&n oil filter which have about 3500km on it and just after the cold experiencing this, could be oil pump gone bad or the pressure sensor or something, please anybody have any suggestions help

[@PhillipBailey]

Does that not have electric power steering? If not try removing the drive belt so nothing is turning like waterpump, tensioner, idler, ac although that's a separate belt and alternator. Lots of things can whine and if tge noise is still present with tge drive belt off its likely the oil pump. Good luck

[@SK-tn2qn]

@@PhillipBailey just noticed your reply, I wanna thank you for taking the time and getting back to me. Unfortunately it ended up being the oil pump as recently oil pressure dropped to zero, in the shop now

A man that is a lot of work I miss my 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 with the 350 vortec that thing will haul and work hard and no problems. i sold it to buy a 2010 Silverado, then I sold that to buy a 2017 GMC Sierra 5.3, and now I am seeing videos of this problem because I think this truck is heading this way. I think that a few months it will have this service done because of a whining in acceleration, still there is no code but in the first start of the day it will make a lot of sound ,and when the engine gets to normal temp it will stop making the sound a man I always say to much tech will always be counterproductive this things are not rocket 🚀 why put so much tech

Idk why you take the front differential off my Haynes repair manual only says remove timing chain cover literally 3 steps in the book doesn’t seem hard at all

[@geritwatson9350]

Good video though and explanations

[@PhillipBailey]

There's a reason why professional techs don't use Haynes. You have to remove the oil pan to access the oil pump pickup. The differential must be removed to remove the pan and the steering gear must be removed to remove the differential. Go ahead and try without removing the pan. Let's us know howbit works out for you.
