    Oil pressure

    2007 NNBS Sierra, when playing back some datalogging and oil pressure is in psi it is about half of what the gauge in the truck says. If I use metric settings it is dead on to the truck gauge, and converts to about double what it says in psi (yes almost peed myself when I saw 13psi at idle! )

    I read somewhere there was a bug in the program that causes oil pressure to read half. I have tried searching all the forums and can't find anything, is there a "master bug or known issues" list somewhere"?

    Sorry if this has been addressed somewhere already, I can't seem to find it.

    Thanks

    I had the same issue...about shit myself.

    http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showth...t=oil+pressure

    FWIW, I clicked on Search > Advanced Search, then put in oil pressure as the search criteria and then selected VCM bug list from the list on the right.

    Edit: And the master bug list is on the main page of the forum....about six entries down. When I clicked on it, it only showed one bug in the list, but you have to select show all posts from the last year or whatever. Damn....wish OUR bug list was that short where I work

    HTH,
    Gerry
