Review on Pressure 12677836 12616646 Chevrolet Silverado by Daniel Drury

I bought this block to replace a worn original block on my 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 L33. It was replaced in the summer of 2020 by a reputable mechanic along with a new oil pump, mesh etc. Less than 3,000 miles after this unit was on my car it failed. I drive 60 km one way to work, on the way home I smelled oil. I followed the gauge and it was over 40psi. Typically operates at 40-60psi cruise pressure). I had to go to the doctor. I still kept an eye on the sensor and let it idle. I noticed clouds of smoke under the hood and went outside to check. I looked under the truck. It was a 12" x 24" puddle of oil. Cut it off and called a tow truck. The mechanic called me the next day with a diagnosis of a faulty oil pressure switch. Don't buy an (almost) cheap part and build a motor. Is rescued, but almost a disaster.
