Same thing just happened to me. I just replaced mine a few months ago and that one has bit the dust. Got a new one that I'm gonna put in this weekend. Hope this one lasts longer than a few months.

Well, now my oil pressure is set at 120psi!!! 
I think it might be the weather change b/c today is one of the colder days we've had down here...started the car up for lunch and the oil pressure was pegged! Is this hurting the car at all? Is it worth replacing if the new one if its just gonna go bad?

You can do it in less than an hour, following the directions in my DIY. The part is only $35 from gmpartsdirect.com also.

LOL!!! I was just gonna post a question about this very thing, was leaving the gym about an hour ago and mine was pegged at 130psi! Figured it was the sensor but was gonna check here anyway.
Good luck guys! Gonna get mine fixed under warranty along with a list of other problems in a couple weeks.

I just had mine fixed at 21st century today cost me 1 hour labor.I supplied my own sensor. Now it works fine. The sad thing is I had them put a ls6 intake on three weeks ago. Note to self if you gonna pull the intake go ahead and replace the $40.00 part while you are there.

If your installing it yourself, be sure and use the correct size socket and use a torque wrench too. I think it uses a 22mm(?) as I recall.
BTW, be sure to check that the small vacuum hose at they rear of the manifold gets re-attached when you go to put it back on. HTH
