    NOTES:
    You do not have to remove the front wheels for this job. I had the wheels off already because I was doing other work on the truck. The reason I mention it in the video is because if you let the air out of the front tires or have them off you can get the truck a little bit close to the ground and it makes it easier to reach all the way back there to the sensor.
    I failed to mention that there is a small screen in the oil pressure sensor bore that should be popped out and cleaned when replacing this. sometimes they fall apart, so it's not a bad idea to buy a new screen for it if you're doing this job(link above)
    Quick video to show you the oil pressure sensor location and what tools you will need. I do recommend using the OEM sensor. this should be the same for 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L engines

      That's what I shoot for! I feel your pain on the 15 minute videos that could be 2 minutes. Part of the reason I started making short fix videos. Sometimes I find myself having to look back on them as well for answers and I don't want to see myself talk for 15 minutes either.

      Side note, the 2011 5.3l connector ks different! Make sure you double check that you have the right part! It's still 3 prong but has wider spacing with a different clip mechanism!

    After pulling out the sensor, you might want to pick out the screened filter and inspect/replace. They are only about $6 and when clogged, are often the problem.

    For parts, I just got out of Autozone and picked up the following for this going off the video here.
    1) Oil Press. Sensor = Dorman #926-040 (includes screen filter)
    2) Oil Pressure Socket (1/2 Drive) = OEM #25254
    3) Duralast 5" Wobble Extension = #52-224
    The special socket fits the sensor hex perfectly. I'll update my comment later to confirm everything worked or not. Got a GM engineer friend so I'll see if he can't look up the I&M sheet so we can get a torque spec.
    Thanks for the video, hoping the ~$37 tool investment (+$55 for the part) saves me from an $800 shop invoice. 😀

  • @northamericanmonster
    @northamericanmonster Před 2 lety +6

    great video. i'll reiterate what others are saying about just how much contortion, strain, and hand compression it takes to do this job. i had the most success starting at the braided cable nearer the driver's side and following that down first to the electrical connection and then the sensor for removal. the electrical connection was the biggest obstacle, as mine was installed with the retaining clip at about 7 o'clock, meaning i had to find the perfect angle to somehow get my hand down past the edge of the connector shroud and then around it fully opposite myself, and up under the clip. building on advice from another video, a very small (like 1/8") allen wrench came in very handy. i wrapped electrical tape around the bottom to give myself a little bit more purchase.
    after A LOT of blindly working the allen key around, the plastic shroud deformed enough it could be slipped over the tab holding it in place. using my phone as an inspection camera helped a lot, too... just don't drop it into the abyss.
    edit - cheap pick from HF bent into basically a shephard's hook worked well to pull the screen. basically bend it a little bigger than the diameter of the screen so the "bell" you create pops over the top of the screen's housing. this'll keep you from destroying the screen if you want to just clean it. installed the new screen with a similarly cheap grabber tool from said importer of fine chinese hardware.
    last note: 1-1/16 and 27mm will do the job, but you'll likely find that you wedge the sensor in -- especially the old one you'll have to use a multi-part ratchet setup like in the video to remove. may be worth paying for the specialty tool if you'll be doiing this on more than one job. i had to use a punch to pop the old one out of the 1-1/16 socket.

      This might be the answer for me. I don't understand how anyone could get that electrical connector off. I can touch it...but there's no way I can get a grip on it, lift the lock, push in the tab, and wiggle the connector off. My hand is bleeding. I can't get a grip on that thing no matter what I do.

    Picked up a 01 suburban for a song and dude told me it had a rear main leak - parked it and when i left again oil was just constantly coming out while the truck was on.
    Got under it to confirm rear main but a buddy told me the location of the leak was coming from on high when I sent him my video - suggested replacing this.
    Armed with this video I was able to get the job done - took me a while to find the real oil pressure socket but finally did at Napa the Harbor freight deep well / impact wasn't quite long enough for the older sensor.
    Thanks again for such a helpful video!

    I just did this on my 2013 silverado. This is the best vid for this procedure. No I did not remove any hoses. It was a real bitch to do but very doable. Some of the best advice was to lay Moving blankets across the motor and lay on top to reach comfortably. Another piece of advice before you do this is an engine flush and oil change before you do it. I didn't and fresh screen got partially plugged again after the sensor/screen swap

    Awesome video and thank you for all the great camera angles to see behind the plastic shield. My experience is you get back in there and unless you have thin hands you will be struggling to fit your hand between the firewall and plastic shield and it's harder than that as there is a wire harness right there too further limiting your space. I finally removed the old one and pulled the screen out using a long bolt to jam it into the filter, awesome. Well then when I put the new filter it fell into the back of the engine, never to be seen again so I used the old filer which was in very good shape anyway. Then when I tried to put the new sensor on it fell behind the engine never to be seen again. Then one of my extensions fell behind the engine never to be seen again, so I put the old broken sensor back on and basically spent 2-3 hours removing and replacing the old parts. LoL. Nothing like waiting an afternoon. This morning it's snowing and I need to go back and see if by some miracle I can locate those parts. In the process the large socket fell back there but it's so big I managed to get it out and even the old sensor fell but I managed to fish that out. Have fun y'all!!!

      Yeah, I managed to see the extension with my phone camera this morning and once I knew were it was I used a magnet to fish it out, I can see the new sensor but its behind the wire harness, magnet won't stick to it since its aluminum, my grabber can't open big enough to grab it and the electrical end is facing down so no way to get it without removing the whole manifold. A new one on order, hopefully better luck on the next round.

      That's what I'm hoping is the only thing wrong with my 04 I don't have money to fix it if it's more severe. The oil pressure gauge pegs to 80 without the truck even running and when it is running it runs just as smooth as it has normally. No knocks or ticking which is a plus. I don't drive it enough for the oil to be bad. So we'll see when my ordered sensor gets here. Fingers crossed. :)

    Its best to use the oil pressure socket it self. Sometimes the 1 1/16 & the 27mm over cross the oil pressure switch nut. Then its hard to get the socket off when you tighten the nut back on if you use the oil pressure socket itself it will come right back off once you tighten up the oil pressure switch.

    You may find it difficult to keep the sensor in the socket when you are installing it. Take a piece of paper and wrap it around the 6 points on the sensor then put the sensor into the socket. The paper wrapped around the sensor will hold it in the socket so that when you slide the socket and extension behind the engine the sensor does not come out of the socket. You can then use the extension to screw in the sensor to hand tight. Then use the ratchet. Just be careful not to cross thread the sensor when installing it.

    These can really suck to get to. I always pull the intake off on personal or family vehicles. Doesn’t take long at all. These usually need new intake gaskets at some point anyways, might as well do it all. Last one I did on my personal pickup wasn’t the sensor at all, some damn field mouse got in there and chewed through all the wires. Btw, I just stumbled upon your channel and I’m loving the content!

  • @johnreid859
    @johnreid859 Před 6 lety +30

    What about the little filter screen just below the pressure sending unit. It is a common problem. It plugs up and causes the oil pressure to run low or no oil pressure. When you're in there it is just a pick to take it out and replace.

    • @cementhead7358
      @cementhead7358 Před 5 lety +11

      Listen up folks... Here is how to do this job real simply. Get a heavy thick blanket and put it on top of the motor because you are going to lay up there to get at eveything. At 1:01 of the video you will see the plastic baffle, at the rear of the engine, and there is a white spot visible. Take a sabre saw blade and make a vertical cut in the plastic (about 1/2" to the right of the white dot) and cut down toward the bottom, and then cut horizontally to the right. Then throw that piece away. (Presumably this is your own truck!). I did not find any adverse effects from doing this.
      You will be able to see the sensor and the electrical connector, easily. You will not need to remove any hoses. Reach over the top, disconnect the connector with your left hand, and move it to the left, out of your way. Use the 27mm deep socket, with about a 4" to 6" extension, and your ratchet. (I did not need to use a "flex" connection.) Removing the sensor is very simple.
      To remove the basket screen, use a 3/8" dia. bolt, check with finger feel to make sure you are centered on the screen, and use gentle downward pressure and make about 1/5th of a clockwise turn. I was able to lift the screen out, FIRST try! Clean the screen with solvent a couple times, and reverse blow through, with compressed air. Pop the screen back into the engine port and replace the sensor. This will only take a few seconds. Reconnect the electrical connector and restart the engine. Odds are high, that you will still have an erroneous pressure reading. That means the issue is a defective sensor. (When you put the new sensor in, and start the engine - don't have a heart attack. It probably took about 40 seconds for my ECM to recognize the new sensor.)

  • @nucknoel89

    If you want to avoid breaking the plug, do like I did. I took a fairly long flat screwdriver, put the tip where the plastic part of the sensor meets the metal part, then hit the screwdriver with a hammer and busted the top off. I was then able to remove that top part from the plug without damaging the plug. Also, like others have said, change the screen while you're in there.
