The pressure stay at 40 but the guage was erratic and jumpe up to 80 for a flash then 40....I pulled into the garage let it idle and in the course of a few seconds it went back down to 20, light came on and I immediately turned it off and had it towed to Dealer.
Car was built in the range from 3/17 to 11/17 for what that's worth. mileage 10,800

Well, here we go again. A car within the same build dates as me. I predict there will be a continued string of these failures, as GM has not really responded to the issue. Who knows what replacement pumps are going to be installed, as most GM dealers don't even know themselves what's up with this problem.
If this will even be an option for our wet sump pumps, check out the cost:

I love my ZLE like no other car before it, and want to keep it as my final fun car, but I hate having to watch the oil pressure more than the tach or speedo. It seems like there should be a class action suit initiated against GM to cause this problem to be rectified. It's a shame to get to this point, but unless GM is FORCED to expose the actual numbers of oil pump failures that have happened, and what they/Melling have done to resolve it, there is no way to know if a replacement pump from GM is not the same piece of shit the engine builders put in to start with. I really don't want to have to trade this car in for something else, but even with an extended warranty I have, I am not planning on having my car pulled apart by dealer stooges that don't even know what kind of oil to use.
It looks like I may have to start considering a different 'final fun car'......
