Dirt.boy Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Not sure if this is the right forum but anyway.... Got the 8.1l engine in my suburban flushed last week at the dealer (knocks on cold start, hoping its the lifters). Now the engine oil remaining resets to 88% and doesn't appear to be dropping. I put over 300 hard towing miles on it this weekend and its still at 88%. I have reset it with the accelerator and the DIC steering wheel controls to no avail. What gives??

Dirt.boy Posted May 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 huh.....i guess its back to the dealer. Dealer couldn't figure it out with the Tech 2. They wanted to charge me to hook it up and reflash the PCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 what about disconnecting the battery and letting everything reset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NolletSSS Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Mine is stuck at %30 but I can reset it back to %100 until I turn the truck off I just never look at it anymore. Let me know what you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what you find out. Mine was at like 20% when I brought it in. How did yours get "stuck"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NolletSSS Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Mine was at like 20% when I brought it in. How did yours get "stuck"? ? I dont know it just always says 30 and wont get any lower. I can reset it and it will stay at 100 for the duration of the drive but the next time I get in and start it will be back at 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt.boy Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Dealer said they had it figured out, the Tech2 that is. They reset the oil life with the Tech2 unit but my readout still says 88% and doesn't move. Is there anyway to reset the gauge cluster "computer". It is looking like that is where the problem is. The PCM resets just fine. PS I have tried disconnecting the battery but not the gauge cluster. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
