Chances are, if you keep your 1999-2006 Chevy or GM pickup long enough, you'll have to replace the oil sending unit, or pay someone to do it for you. Symptoms include erratic oil pressure, leaking oil beneath your pickup, excessive pressure on the gauge, etc. This can get expensive!
The job of actually replacing the GM oil sending unit is not that difficult. It's actually getting to it that makes the job horrible!
Typically you'll have two choices. Either pull the manifold off or remove the fuel line and maybe a vacuum line and squeeze your hand way back in there.
Not an easy thing to do for someone who has ham-hock sized hands!
Tools you will need to do this job:
*Oil Pressure Switch for GM and Chevrolet Pickups - amzn.to/2JBRt2z
* Special 1 1/16" or 27mm deep well socket - amzn.to/2DmXFeu
* 3/8" drive ratchet, preferably with swivel head like this one -- amzn.to/2SJfau9
* 3/8" drive, 5-inch extension (I recommend buying the kit because you may need the short extension as well -- amzn.to/2SJyYgU
* High-pressure gas line disconnects - amzn.to/2JJo8DL
I've seen some estimates from people online that the cost for a dealer to do this 45-minute job was nearly $500. Other prices I've seen for a repair shop to do the job was in the $150 to $300 price range. So you can save yourself a lot of money replacing the Chevrolet oil pressure switch (sending unit) yourself!
