Oil pressure and gas gauge on 2003 chevy silverrado stopped working at the same time. Small V8 4.8. Can you tell me what might be the problem? All other gauges work fine.

I was cleaning under the hood with air pressure, now fuel gauge and temp gauge not working.

lots of air pressure may have move out of place the wires. unplug, clean and plug back in each wire you may see that got in contact with the high air pressure. hope this may help you...
chevy pick ups have this issue. instrumental board stops working properly around 120,000 miles. gauges for gas,temp,oil,speed will not work properly. unless this happens under 100,000 miles you are covered. if not. 265 dlls ..this is what i paid for a chevy 2003 5.3 v8 vortex to get it repaired

Oil light came on and low oil pressure or no oil pressure. But oil level is fine. 2003 Chevy sierra

spend the 12 dollars and get a universal mechanical oil pressure gauge, remove the oil sending unit on truck and screw new gauge into and start truck. Does it read pressure? I know people will say just replace oil sending unit but i like to visually check for a true oil pressure than to trust a light, at least you will know what pressure your motor has. if you have pressure then replace the sending unit. Most of the time when the sending unit goes bad your oil pressure gauge in the truck will run at 80 psi all the time. Since you have a light the sending unit just says it isn't getting pressure which turns a light on. So be safe and do as i suggest, if there is no pressure at the mechanical gauge then i hate to say it but you may have a bad oil pump. I honestly just think you have a bad sending unit,if you want just replace it and if lights go off thats good, but you still don't know what the pressure is and if you feel comfortable with this then do so.

1999 Chevy Silverrado, 5.3 Z71. Stalling out when warmed up going up hill. Took it to Chevy certified repair man said it was Catalist converters. Had those repaced, drove it for a week then same stalling...

Did you notice if you where low on gas either or both times this happened? I wonder if it's not a fuel pressure problem? Other wise might give it a tune up air filter, plugs, fuel filter. I've also noticed that chevy's are always happier with a fresh oil change.

My oil pressure gauge is bouncing all around on my 2003 Chevy Avalanche. It bounces from the low end to the high end and everywhere in between. Any idea what might be causing this?

Sounds like the oil pressure sensor. Thatt is the easiest thing to change. If not its the gauge. Put voltage to the wires from the switch and see if the gauge stops jumping and stays pegged, if it does its the switch Good luck

Have a low oil pressure light come on but its not on all the time

check the pressure with a oil pressure special test gauge, most likely it will be ok, then replace the oil pressure sending unit.
