First step: Remove fuel pump fuse, crank starter for a few seconds to remove fuel and pressure from fuel line in order to release the grips on the line. Second step, have engine engineers put in jail for stupidity for putting the sensor in a position that required the removal of 1/3rd of the engine to access sensor.

@deltasteve1 Жыл бұрын

After putting the engineer in jail, give the manager and accountant a bonus for the 3 cents per unit cost savings by making the engineer put the sensor in the worst location possible.

I did it with a deep well socket, 3 in long extension, universal joint, and ratchet. All half inch drive. A 6-in extension is too long but a 3 in extension and universal is just right. The ratchet handle will swing over top of everything but the ratchet will still fit under the bump out of the firewall. The only thing I removed other than the sending unit is the plastic cover on top of the engine. Fuel rails stayed in place.

Ray, you made my life very easy with this video. Had a 5.3l Chevrolet Savanna come into the shop, probably the only one in Europe. We had already replaced the transfer case and did the TSB fill procedure. Then I noticed the oil pressure gauge doing the same as in this video. Fortunately I was able to pull the rear engine cover inside the car to get at the sensor since US car parts in Europe are scarce (took six months to get the transfer case from the US). We made a special socket and got the sensor swapped out without any issues. Pressure gauge now reads as it should. Thank you for this video as it made it a very easy job seeing where it is and what’s needed.

Side note: I do have a great picture of a police car in front of me and a red light in front of him with my speedometer pegged. Even though we were stopped, the pegged speedometer in the photo made it look like me and the cop blew the light doing 120mph.

The oil pressure gauge on my 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L with 200k+ miles has been pegged above 80 psi for, I don't know, probably 6 or 7 years now. It has no relationship to the actual oil pressure, fortunately, but also no relationship to the sending unit--just a stepper motor issue. It also never throws any codes.
