Arnie,
What Brian says can be true. A loose gas cap will set off the SES (service engine soon) light. This is a known problem, not just on your 5.3 but pretty much any engine with OBD II = all newer engines. I am suprised the dealer did not tell you check the cap and monitor for a while. If the cap is cracked, it doesn't matter how tight it is.
BUT the cap is just one of many variables that could cause the SES light to come on. I am curious to the answer.
Rick
