The contact owns a 1999 Chevrolet Express 3500. While driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The failure recurred on several occasions.

I own a 1999 Chevrolet Express 1500 van with less than 50,000 miles on it. I purchased the van new in 1999. I now have a problem with the oil pressure gauge falling past 80 psi all the time. Even when the van is not running. I have tried two different cluster with the same results. I have not confidence that anyone at GM knows how to fix this issue. No resolution can be found.
