Just put in another Qt. going for a drive and see if that works ,I was thinking 7 might be too much oil ?? guess not .. I run 7 qt but thinking the deal was full on the stick 6 was good , was thinking I put too much in maybe not .. ?? If that does it well 7 it is .. Still going to hop one more time around the 04 to make sure. Never know..

Update: still on ,I put in another Qt. it has 7 in now drove 10 miles every 3 miles pops on so I'll drive it a few days and see what happens then get a new sensor
,thanks for all the input just an FYI it did this once before and it took a month of driving before it went off and why it came on in the first place was I was driving up some steep hills and Bam came on ,I was hoping I could speed up the process this time with some input I guess the 04 going to do what it going to do ..Thanks for all the help.. New sensor for sure this is getting old and all the hopping ..Thanks..

Update : still on LOL ^&*() and %^&*( went today and got a new one from Chevy dealer in Sugarland TX. $23.95 changing the oil anyway for the LMR tune next week ,been reading up on the thing says if take it out and clean it up prop work gets junk from sitting it the oil but for $23.95 try new one ,way too much work to drain the oil ECT. just to see if it will work . Prop. still take a day or two to go off I'll find out .. Next thing looking for is rear tires OMG HOT ROD for sure.. Not even had a tune yet ..
