The past 2 days the truck has acted a little weird.

Twice the truck bogged down and felt like stalling but didnt. Today while driving it shut off completely and I just put it in neutral and coasted and it started right back up and drove fine.

On all of these occassions the Red E-Brake Light has Come on. No check engine light just the brake light.

My Anti-Lock light has been on since Ive owned the truck but has never caused any problems.

The fact the other red brake light is coming on is throwing me off.

Would bad ABS module or sensors cause the truck to shut off?

Where should i start looking?

replace your oilpressure sender, it can do those things

Yea Ive noticed the oil pressure gauge just reads 80 all of the time now so Im guessing the sending unit went bad.

Is it a safety feature built into the trucks that is making it shut off because of this sending unit?

Anyone know the part #? Is this a dealer specific item?

Thanks I appreciate the help. I'll hit up pep boys tomorrow and see what they got.

Are the sending units the same between the syclones and normal S series 4.3 motors?

I appreciate it guys. That link was full of good information im sure will come in handy.

The only thing thorwing me off is why the brake light is coming on when its about to die? I also noticed its primarily happening on left turns?
