This is a good video but not for a 2001 Dodge ram 2500 5.9 diesel, The fuel filter canister is directly above the ECU and the oil pressure switch. On a 2001 dodge ram 2500 5.9 diesel, you can not get to the ECU with the fuel filter canister in the way. To change the oil pressure sensor on a 2001 dodge ram 2500 5.9 diesel, remove the left wheel, and then take off the plastic fender skirt. Once the fender skirt is removed, using a deep well socket and extension the sensor is easily remove after disconnecting the three prong connector
Thanks Jim , I had this very same problem with my 2001 Dodge Cummins Ram and your info help me greatly , once again thanks for the info in your comment post.
Jim Roach hey jim i too have the exact same truck. My dash gauge when you turn on key raises to the no pressure line. Doest move even when you start it reads zero. Hooked a manual gauge to the top of oil filter housing and getting normal pressure. So i changed oil pressure sensor. Still doing the exact same thing. The only thing left i can think of is one of the wires has a bare spot and it grounding out somewhere.
But Jim, you can remove the fuel filter mount more easily than jacking, blocking, remove tire and plastic then you finally get to work under a vehicle. If you undo the two bolts and the banjo fittings from your filter and filter mount you can continue as shown in this video. Idk what most people's preference is but I would much rather work from the top when possible. Plus you won't have to go buy new black plastic to get your fender well secure again . Seriously man, disconnect your banjos and connectors pull 2 bolts and let the hole set up just hangout for a sec. You will have all the room you need and will be leaning over the truck instead of kneeling or crouching under it. Just my thoughts
Hey I just bought a 91 dodge 5.9
Cummings the guy told me the main seal is going out so I replace the upper and the lower still leaking oil from back of
the Block in between the firewallhard to see any ideas?
Or if you have an aftermarket lift pump you just throw the factory canister out.
Just replaced sender in my 1999 Ram 2500 with Cummins engine. Could not follow this video advice; had to use advice from Jim Roach, below (Thanks, Jim!). Removed wheel, drilled out 9 plastic rivets, removed plastic fender skirt. Then came the difficult part. I am 76 years old, and have skinny arms, but could not get my arm in there. Fortunately, my wife could, and she removed the connector, removed the sender (after I broke it loose with (2) 1/2" extensions and a 32mm socket), and inserted the new sender finger tight. Then I tightened it with a 1 1/16" socket. Six-point sockets are preferable, but I only had 12-point. They worked, but I had to wiggle it a bit to get the socket off the new one. Then she was able to reach in and put the connector on the new sender. Started it up, and SUCCESS!! BTW, no oil came out. The truck had sat for a week without being run. Was able to buy a sender on Amazon for $25.99. I added a couple of other things to get the total over $49, and got free shipping. The part was delivered to my house 4 days later by UPS.
Totally agree with Jim Roach, I didn't remove tire but with a 30 inch 3/8 drive extension i reached in and removed and replaced mine on a 99 dodge ram 2500 diesel in no time flat, Great video thanks a lot for all you do.
Great video, with clear concise instructions. I especially appreciate the inclusion of socket and wrench sizes needed to do this job. I love my old (2004) Dodge Ram truck! I'm proud of myself for being able to take care of it myself whenever possible. Thank you for your expert help. I dont know if it will make a difference that my truck has a Hemi not a Cummins engine.
Thanks and you're welcome!
Interesting video wade. You always do a great job helping folks. Thanks man 😀
Thanks! That means a lot to us. We always try to help you guys out with good vids.
you guys rock man!!!! whenever i need some help.... there you are!!!!!
Thank you!
Fast zero bullshit video. Thanks.
I can't express enough thank you!!!
No problem Carlo. Don't forget you can always call in if you need help with anything.
Thanks for the video - good job. I have 98 12v that is reading 0 oil pressure when I downshift and idle at a stop light. Would I use this same replacement oil pressure sensor or do I need another?
Thank you really helped
What do you suggest if you turn the key on and the thing's reading oil pressure before you even start the truck?
I have a 98.5 Cummins 24v and I'm trying to get my hands on a mechanical gauge but do you think my sensor is going bad I'll start the truck and sometimes on start up it will read pressure sometimes not but I'll let it idle and it wont move but when I drive down the road if I'm above 1400rpms it picks up the pressure and then at idle it drops to 0 again then after a bit it just stays on at the 3rd line it never reads the 40psi like it should be around plus recently I got a no bus and my gauge cluster stopped working entirely so I disconnected my batteries to reset everything and that made my gauge cluster start working again so I'm wondering if my cluster my be going out as well
Thank you so much.
Is it the same proceedure for a 2004 Dodge 3500?
Aint got no 'got dang' oil.. =) good video guys
Thoroughbred Diesel,
My oil line for the turbo is on the front side were you recommended checking with a manual gauge. Doesn't seem like i will have the greatest of access from the back side. Have you seen this and should i change the location?
There are test ports on the oil filter housing that are close to the oil feed line, those test ports are where you will test the oil pressure with a manual gauge.
Thanks man
You're welcome!
Great vid 👍
Thanks!
what diagnostic tool, code reader/scan tool would read the oil pressure
from the ecu computer ? it should be as reliable as any mechanical guage.
ie: live stream data.... thanks bill
Engine oil pressure can be monitored with most major diagnostic scanners, and those major parameters, (ect, oil pressure, rpm, etc.) can be monitored on the aftermarket monitoring systems as well. Its always nice to have the truck gauges working as well.
Thank you... 32mm.
You are welcome!
hey do u have a video a bad fuel pump or bad fuel sending unit.im trying to figure out whats wrong with my 99 2500
Look up. DEBOSS garage. He has good content. Is where I got my feet wet trouble shooting my first diesel. He has a video specifically for a lift pump for those years. Pretty sure you've fixed your problem by now but it's never to late to be entertained.
You should post what year your truck is because it seems all years are not identical.
@@truckcampertraveler7369 sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Is the location at the same place on an 07 ?
Hey guys. Before you go and spend 100 bucks on a sensor... Make sure your oil isn't actually low. Listen to the video.
@Thoroughbred Diesel The part number is different on the video than now on the website
what's a good brand or type of manual gauge? Also, I wouldn't mind leaving a manual gauge under the hood permanently, any brand or type recommendations?
You would want to make sure that you use something that will withstand the heat. Everything we have is basically designed to be an internal application.
Would the sensor be causing my issue. I drive an 04 24 valve and after the truck warms up the oil pressure drops to nearly into the red, its still in the "good" zone on the guage but is right on the edge of being too low. When i start driving it jumps up really fast to over 40, where it should be. Like even a 250 rpm increase cause the oil pressure to jump to where it needs to be. I know that an increase in rmp increases pressure but would it cause that drastic of an increase? Thats why I think its either the guage or pressure sensor. The truck runs perfect with zero blow by.
Mine does the same thing. Did you ever get this resolved?
But Jim, you can remove the fuel filter mount more easily than jacking, blocking, remove tire and plastic then you finally get to work under a vehicle. If you undo the two bolts and the banjo fittings from your filter and filter mount you can continue as shown in this video.

my 2006 5.9 new re man motor showing 9# at idle 25# at 1500rpm, checked with a manual oil pressure gage, is it safe to run.
any thoughts?
did you ever figure out your issue, mine is doing the same thing
$200 dollar part. I just screwed a 6 inch 1/8 NPT pipe with a 3/8 couple coming out of the filter hole and screwed on a 3/8 gauge for less than 10 bucks
What fixes the low voltage problem is it caused by bad ground or not enough going in?
The lack of amperage in these trucks is from the lack of produced amperage from the stock alternator, if that’s what you are asking.
Is 35 pounds oil pressure good on the 5.9 Cummins mine sits 35 at ideal and then comes up while driving to 45+
Yes, that is well within spec.
Is it common for oil to leak from the electrical plug connector on the oil sending unit?
Yes, over time they can.
would a failing or defect sensor make it read high in mornings and when warm read good but fluctuate when driving
Oil pressure sensor failure on the early model Cummins 5.9’s is common, but you ALWAYS need to verify what your engines oil pressure is with a MANUAL GAUGE. I cant stress this enough. Please, before you deem the sensor bad, put a manual gauge on the truck and make sure that you aren’t having an internal issue in your engine.
Thoroughbred Diesel will do I bet it's probably the oil pump
what's a good brand or type of manual gauge? also, I wouldn't mind leaving a manual gauge under the hood permanently, any brand or type recommendations?
mine is either Zero or 100 PSI, im thinkin the sending unit is bad... Mostly cause my Edge tuner also reads one or the other, hard to believe it would be anything but the sending unit.
We do not offer any gauges that would be meant to stay under the hood in those conditions, sorry. We actually use test gauge sets from Snap On.
My gauge pegs out! It goes to 120 lbs think my sensor is bad I have a warning light and stop engine light on my 1999 Monaco Diplomat now ecm has derated throttle and my coach barely revs up. I ordered a new sensor. But need to clear codes but code readers won't fit the sockets I have a round socket and a rectangle socket. Auto stores don't have a code reader to fit my RV I have code 141 oil sender. Need to fix help
I am not familiar with how the oil pressure sending unit corresponds with a medium duty chassis. I would be almost afraid that you could have an electrical problem that is causing your derate. Fix the oil pressure sensor first and see where that leaves you.
In this case, how do you know if you have a bad sensor, or a bad switch? And where is the switch located relative to the sensor? Thanks
For the 5.9’s they have a 3 wire sensor, and there were some trucks that people converted to a 1 wire switch. The oil pressure sensor is what we sell, but Cummins has a conversion to take it to a switch which basically have a off/on rationality. If your truck still has the 3 wire harness, it still has the sensor and you are good to go. Do as the video talks on , first verify your oil pressure. Then diagnose the sensor, input signal, or wiring harness trouble.
@@thoroughbreddiesel my truck is that of a 2002 Freightliner stepvan with the 5.9 Cummins ISB 185. Oil pressure gauge is working and showing 60 psi of oil pressure, but has a sporadic check-engine light that indicates no oil pressure. Engine gets derated to ~50% power when the CEL is active. An over the phone diagnosis with Cummins told me it was a bad oil pressure switch part number 4076930. Still waiting for it to get shipped in from China…
The 4076930 is the single wire sensor I believe. If you have the 3 wire sensor, the 4326849 may work for you.
I replace the oil pressure sensor and the gauge still don't pick up I buy the sensor from O reilly do you think it's have to be from Cummins ??
Most likely that sensor is bad. Doesn't have to be cummins but it does need to be a working sensor.
I'm having an issue where my 12valve is fluctuating between about 20 to 40. My turbo is making noises, so I'm going to be rebuilding that first. My question is, if the oil pressure being affected by a worn turbo, or is my turbo worn because of oil pressure issues? its got over 400K miles original turbo btw.
Turbo being worn really will not affect the oil pressure. If you have a turbo bearing failure the truck will begin to “consume” oil in some fashion, IE, you may see fresh oil in the tailpipe of the truck. If the truck starts at 40 and drops to 20 as the vehicle comes to temp, then will jump back to 40 if you rev it up. The minimum allowable oil pressure at idle is 10 psi, 30 psi at the engines rated RPM.
The truck is actually sitting over top of the oil water separating drain which runs the entire length of the shop. We wanted the customers to see that oil is going to come out and to not be intimidate by that. We tend to assume that most viewers will know how to clean up their own oil so we didn't feel that it was necessary to include that in our video.
a quick question for ya.. lost the abs light on a few months ago. truck high centered and the oil gauge stopped working.. now it does work at times on and off most off.. before i buy a switch if its bad it wont work intermediate as i would assume more like a bad wire connect or weak connection? is their a place where the wire loom would have a connect with both that might be bad. or just 2 different problems. thanks also found a problem with power like starving fuel at times. just checking thanks
I have a 2000 24 valve cummings and my fuel filter is in the place of the ecm and i have no oil sending unit underneath my ecm
Your truck is a CUMMINS, get it right.
First thing you're gonna have to do -- before you do anything else -- is learn to spell the name of your engine. CUMMINS.
My Cummins loses oil pressure when I come to a stop. Then goes back up.
At first start the pressure is closer to 100 psi
Verify this with a manual gauge. If you can repeat this on a manual gauge, something mechanical has gone wrong with your engine. If manual gauge says different, something wrong with your oil sender or wiring?
Kenny Haworth, did you get this resolved? Mine is doing the same thing.
@@calebpatton2391 yes
Oil pressure switch
I would recommend buying from thoroughbred not box store
No oil pressure? Better rev it!
no speed, oil pressure, no gas :p
Where the yuo buy the sensor? I can't not find the sensor the train to selling me the sensor with one plug my is tree plugs
www.thoroughbreddiesel.com/4326849/
"dat gum oil" available @ your local wallymart, aisle 17 lower shelf.
Would of been more professional if you would of cleaned up the dirty oil dripping down the block. Maybe next time.
That and not use a torque wrench to loosen something.
Ha clean oil off a old Cummins not a f n Corvette he is working on Cummins always have oil on the out side of block it's what they do jackass
Christ it's out of fuel as well.
wow your about disrespectful ain't ya? well its obvious you never worked in a shop there is these things called steam cleaner or pressure washers that most shops have a dedicated bay to house them in with specific drains for oil and road slime to go into and they can reclaim the water from with out breaking any epa rules that the clean the engines with after the repair so maybe try to show a lil respect from now on yea?
Who you even talkin to there, cowboy?
Be nice
