More of an FYI than a question. I have looked at this forum quite a bit in the past, thought I would add some information. I was towing (at less than half my capacity) with my colorado at about 63 mph. All of a sudden, (may have been a quick noise first), I got a "low oil pressure" light, and the engine just died. We were fortunate to have enough momentum to get to an off ramp. The dealership does not seem to know why it blew. They started the tear down and a shattered piston fell out. The mother ship apparently told them to stop the tear down at that point, and they are going to send me a new engine. So far, it looks like they are going to honor their warranty. There have been no mods to the vehicle, the oil was at an appropriate level, and oil changes have all been done by the book with GM recommended oil/filter. I can update this more as this develops. Just thought I would contribute something to the forum. Hopefully this was a "one off" and not a sentinel event....
