- Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L Engine How to Replace Bad Oil Pressure Sensor. This video shows how to replace the oil pressure sensor / sending unit on 1999-2013 GM vehicles with the Vortec V8 engine and the oil pressure sensor location. If your low engine Oil Pressure light is on or the engine oil pressure gauge is stuck at 80 psi or shows "Oil Pressure Low" (Low oil pressure) or if your oil pressure gauge is fluctuating, but you know it's not an issue with the engine oil pressure then most likely the pressure sensor is faulty. I show the Oil Pressure sensor location and what the gauge shows when the sensor goes bad and what it normally reads.
In this informative and easy-to-follow DIY guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of replacing the oil pressure sensor in your Chevrolet or GMC Truck equipped with a 5.3L engine. If you've been experiencing issues with your oil pressure readings or suspect a faulty sensor, this tutorial is for you!
D. Hamm will show you the tools needed and provide essential tips to ensure a smooth and successful replacement. By following these instructions, you'll save both time and money by avoiding a costly trip to the mechanic.
Not only will this video guide help you gain a better understanding of your vehicle's oil pressure system, but it will empower you to confidently tackle this task on your own. Remember, proper maintenance is crucial for preserving the performance and longevity of your engine, making this a skill worth mastering.
So, whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or just starting to explore the world under the hood, join us now and take charge of your car's maintenance. With our comprehensive tutorial and your determination, replacing your 5.3L oil pressure sensor will become a breeze!

I call it the University of TH-cam. Thank you Sir.
One can find the answer to pretty much anything on TH-cam, for sure 👍
I agree sir! Don't be intimidated to put your hands on anything, TH-cam is always there for my help! I've learned a lot!
That’s right. You can do it. If you say you can’t, you won’t.
Thank you Sir, I appreciate the lesson and information. As one southern gentleman to another you were a huge help here. I'll be checking back when I need more help.
Thank you I’m so glad I could help. Definitely check back or ask questions anytime.
Really good video. Didn’t talk too much and showed the basic job how to get it done right. Thanks for the help!!
Thank you, I appreciate it. I know when I’m on here looking for answers that’s what I want and as efficiently as possible. Have a great week!
Great video. It's a relief watching a professional work. Many of these TH-cam video creators talk like the English language is their 4 language. Thx
Thank you. I know exactly what you mean 😂 so I try to be as clear as possible
When you told us of your career background....WOW....impressive as hell. I subscribed and look forward to learning. I replaced the oil pressure sensor on my 6.0 Escalade a few months back and today my 2003 Tahoe oil pressure gauge pegged. Here we go again. Semper Fidelis Dave Heitman
Thank you for the kind words and subscribing. I’ve got many more videos coming as well as my weekly Live Racing Routes. Hopefully you’ll enjoy them all. Have a great week
How’s it going now? Just curious if you figured it out. Take care friend
I really like the way you show and explain how to replace oil sensor great job
Thank you. Let me know if you ever have any questions. Sometimes it helps to combine our skills to fix things.
Super helpful man, love the willingness to help others and answer questions
I’m happy to help. Thank you for commenting
It was very helpful I helped me out a lot you THE man
Thx that's help alot...I put in unit but im.still getting liw oil pressure. With oul light showing occasionally. Is Teflon required to install.and should I ck. Tourqe on oil unit.
Thank you. I’m glad 😃
I think you should be ok even if you don’t use Teflon sealer. You could have a bad gauge or bad ground or connection? Does your oil pressure drop when the engine is warm?
First video I viewed was one where the intake was pulled and a bunch of connections were removed. Needless to say I was ready to pay someone. Found this one, thirty minutes later had working sending unit again! Thanks
Great job 👍 Thanks for commenting
Thanks for the vid... gonna try and change mine tomorrow
Your video is exactly what I needed to see for this job. Thank you for sharing your knowledgr with us.
Awesome, thank you for the nice comment and I’m glad to help. Merry Christmas to you and yours
Thanks for the help, now I have to buy the right tools 🛠
The camera work is amazing!
Thank you. I wanted to make it as easy as possible to follow
Thank you for your help got mine done today within 45 minutes your awesome brother
Awesome job 👏, thanks for commenting
Did you lean over the engine or sit on the radiator to gain access?
mine did the same thing and had me worried since i was on vacation and towing a 5500 pound trailer. your video made it very easy to fix
That’s awesome to hear. So glad I could help and thank you for letting me know. Have a great weekend
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Hopefully it will save others some aggravation
Thank you for the great video. Back in the day we used Chilton and Haynes books but new times has great things like TH-cam.
Thank you for the comment. I still have my Chilton and Hanes manuals just in case.
I miss the Chiltons. My opinion, chiltons ,hands down way better than Haynes. Too bad chiltons is a thing of the past. Thanks for the vid man!!
@@dustin3876 thank you and I agree. My Dad recently passed away and I was looking through his old Chilton book. I found a index card from 1982 where as a kid I’d drawn a picture and left in his manual. Made it even more valuable to me
@@dhammiam that's awesome man!
Thanks for the video! Helps me out a lot!
Good deal, I’m glad to help. Thank you
Thank you for this video. You are a big help. All other videos were saying you have to take off the intake and I am dreading doing that because I do have to replace my knock sensors but for now I see a way around changing that sensor. Thank you so much!
Great, I’m happy I could help! Plan a day and take your time and you’ll do fine
@@dhammiamhe man! Help me out when I start my 2000 Ford Expedition the oil sensor signaling after I drove around 1-2 kilometers it’s starts to starts it’s place and sudden it drops? What the cause.?
@@user-el4vj4dh2g that could be the sensor. I’m having trouble understanding the question but I would start with the easiest fix. Check all grounds and wiring including the connection on battery and sensor
Thank you for the helpful video! Based on my research on the filter, if you have active fuel handling where the computer cuts off cylinders, you probably have a filter. I had the peg high 80 pressure. Rev engine it would drop, then stall to 0 then go back to 80. For my job on an 05 Tahoe with 5.3L, I grabbed 3 moving boxes stacked flat on top of each other to lay on over the engine area, I put a 3 step stool at the bumper to stand on and just laid over the engine on the boxes. This really made it quite comfortable to find the sensor. At first I tried to get my big hands back there, only first removing the shield cover, it wasn't possible so I disconnected the fuel rail line as you show and then using a boroscope saw the cable connected to the sensor and just fished my hand down the cable to the sensor. At the sensor I gently lifted the clip, then pulled it off. I could feel the yellow grommet seal in the sensor. I got the socket on with the 3/8 wobble extension 6" and then a 2-3" wobble (2x wobble). I fished the socket/wobble tool down the side, got it on by hand, then using my left hand holding socket in place and using flex 3/8 ratchet removed it. Make sure to have a good grip on the socket and sensor, in my case the grommet fell out of the sensor, was in the socket, then it dopped out into the bay and luckily on the driveway vs hidden for life on the frame. There is also a gray insert on the old sensor you want to move into the new sensor, I think it just tightens up the pin guidance to ensure a snug fit and contact (I used a little pick to get the gray insert out). I used the boroscope to look down at the hole for a filter, this engine had none. Bolted up new sensor, for safety of the socket, keep your left hand on the socket to ensure it doesn't run up and go on an angle and crack the sensor. You will feel the sensor have resistance once hand screwing in as the thread sealant adds some resistance. It tightened up nice and snug, then I paid attention to where the clip notch on socket was as you are doing this all blind by feel. I started the tahoe up, using boroscope ran it for 5 minutes and looked around the sensor for leaks. There were none, pressure now really close to 40 at idle and when I rev the engine, it tracks with higher pressure. In all the job wasn't bad if you have wobble extensions and a thin wall oil sensor socket, I could probably do the job again in under 30 minutes from setup to back up and running. If you have the right tools, you can do this repair.
Great job! Thanks for commenting and thorough tutorial. I should add this into the description. It’s been a couple years since I replaced mine and it’s still working as it should. Let me know what job you tackle next. I really believe anything can be accomplished if you set your mind to it. Take care, 👍 David Hamm
Thank you for this video..I am getting ready to change mine myself..I am not a professional however I do know a little about trucks .. Hoping I don't completely bust
Thank you sir I replaced my oil switch by watching you and it's fix

I'm currently working on my 05 Cadillac Escalade and im having to work on it myself and this video is so helpful im just having the most difficult time taking the clip off
I’m glad its helping you. It’s definitely not the easiest thing to get to. I had to lay on the engine on a blanket
Thanks for posting this video and your advice.
You’re welcome. Thank you for the nice comment
Ur a life saver i picked up a silverado 2005 z71 crew cab with transmission issue and i bought it for 100$$ as a project and oil pressure is at 80 now i know how to fix it thank you saved and liked the video so i can fix my truck when i get my new car
Awesome, thank you. I’m happy to help

Thank you 😊 I’m glad I can help
@DHammiam Just finished replacing mine thank you so much for the great video and explanation of tools required. Replacing this was easy just wish my hands were smaller. Original owner and mine did not have a filter as well. Subscribed.
Great job my friend. I’m with you on the smaller hands and arms would make that job easier. I’d thought about having my Wife do it. Hey there’s another video idea 😂. Thanks for the sub, I’ll do likewise. Have a great week
this is the best video on the subject. I am needing to do this on my 2004 Avalanche (pressure gauge on dash pegs at "80" with key on engine off or engine running). I'm going to have to disconnect that fuel line too because I have large hands and thick arms. One thing I have not seen in any video is how to disconnect the electrical connector on it. Nowadays it seems that few are truly press and release, most seem to have some funky lock setup or hidden release.
Thank you. I don’t like the connectors that are so tiny and require a small screwdriver to get the clip released. They’re always in a tight spot too
@@dhammiam I managed to get mine swapped and back to working. Probably could not have done it without watching your video so thank you. I was pleasantly surprised that the electrical was just a pull on the tab and lift it over the hump style and very easy to remove
Thanks so much. That was an awesome tutorial. I still plan to take it to the dealership on tomorrow and if they quote me a price that includes removing the intake and other items which means more labor cost, I will order the part and watch your video again and attempt the repair myself. Thanks again.
You could probably ask them to replace that for you for no extra labor since it’s super easy with the intake and distributor out. I’d do it. It’ll take them 5 minutes (don’t let them tell ya any different) The cost of the switch will be more there but they’ll use the good part like I did. You can do it yourself as well if rather. I had a friend watch my video but he tore his arms up (somehow 😆) Good luck and let me know if ya have any questions. Thanks again 👍🏼
you all prolly dont care but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Luka Ezekiel thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Luka Ezekiel it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass!

Could it be camshaft pressure plate behind the timing cover and of so i might as well change out the oil pump to a better one as well right...
Great descriptive video. Appreciate it. Sent $ thanks too.
Thank you, I really appreciate that. Comment here if you ever have any questions. Have a great weekend
thanks you it really helped to see you do it saved me a lot of uncertenty in tackeling it my self also to see that it the same symtopm as my truck
Great then, my goal accomplished. Good luck and let me know how it goes. Take your time and you’ll do fine
My 06 4.8 was pegged at 80 psi got a new sensor and there was 3 stores I checked all was over $50 but got it and replaced mine in about 15 minutes worked on the first try.

Thank you. I’m working on some more that I’ve had in my computer for a while just takes time. Have a great day
Nice job. I just paid $550.00 to have my sensor replaced😂.
Had I seen this video first, I defiantly would have done it myself.
Next time you’ll know. If you ever have a question about something just comment here and I’ll see if I can advise or do a video to help. Thank you for the comment
That's So damn greasy..I wonder how often they simply do it this way..but charge to remove the manifold etc.
Thanks
Thanks for addressing the screen.
Thank you
Good tips Mister. 🎓
Thank you 😊
@@dhammiam Hey ! It's hard to find fellows like you. Knowing what's what, and then putting it into logically spoken english.
thanks for imformation
You’re welcome, thank you
I know this is an old video, but I am seeing a little low oil pressure in my 5.3 while cold. When the truck runs for a bit, it'll move back to the original pressure. I've had this truck for a long time, and it has over 320,000 miles on her. Any information or tips would be great appreciated, truly believe that anyone can learn to do mechanical work. It is rewarding and cost saving for sure! Great video by the way.
Thank you for the compliment. It’s usually that the oil pressure drops when warmed up. With that many miles the cam bearings could be worn causing the drop. You could run a heavier viscosity oil and see if that helps. Lucas oil treatment is good to use and try as well.
@@dhammiam I'm trying to find a 6.0 or another 5.3 to swap in there. I have had the best luck with this truck. Simple maintenance and replaced the 1-2 solenoid in the transmission. What would be a safe weight to try out? I live in the desert of California but in the winter, it can drop a couple degrees under freezing, not very often though.
@@chadball8296 another thought on the oil pressure is if the pickup screen is clogged or the oil pump wore out it could take it some time to build pressure. As far as oil, you could use the recommended oil, and replace one quart with 20-50 and another with Lucas and see how that works.
@@dhammiam Awesome, appreciate the information. I will be doing my oil today! I'll let ya know the results. If I find that that doesn't fix anything. Replacing the oil pump, do I have to pull the front cover to remove that?
I had the same on a 200,000 mile 5.3. Turned out to be the oil pickup O-ring
I have a 04 SSR My oil psi gauge first went to zero. I had to replace radiator due to Automatic transmission cooler leaking. I cleaned up all the engine & painted rusty pulley. Now the oil psi is at 80 psi. I see that the 05 engine the sender can be seen. Not on my Vortec. Is this a different engine or placement of sender? I have new sender & socket. Need help to locate the sender. I watched a video of another Vortec engine. The oil sender was under intake manifold. I can't see mine. any help?
Ilike what you said. I’m gonna go get some metal picks to make sure my filter can come out
Let me know how it goes. Mine didn’t have one and still don’t
Good video !
Thank you. I enjoy showing others how to fix things that otherwise seem intimidating. Have a great day
Excellent video thank you for doing that.. Although I have a question I have a 2003 Chevy SSR with the 5.3 L Vortex engine, I want to add a secondary oil pressure gauge, And I am trying to decide if I go through the oil pressure sensor unit and add an adapter so that I can add a second line for my 2nd gauge or use a sandwich plate adapter by the oil filter and pull the connection out of that one... Not a lot of room to work by the oil filter, Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated thank you.
Thank you. I would add a Tee at the oil pressure sensor. The sensor connects in one and the secondary line in the other
I have a 1994 GMC Sierra and I was told that the older truck runs on high oil pressure readings. I installed a new oil pressure sensor and now my readings is around 40-60 , do I have to tighten it some more are what am I supposed to do? Thanks
What are the torgue specs foot lbs on a oil pressure switch on a 2013 Dodge Dart Limited 2.0
Great 👍 thank you
Thank you 👍🏼
thank you for the video! do you have any recommendations on replacing this without having wobble connections?
Yes, you can first put the socket on the sensor, then put the extension into the socket but don’t lock the ball into it. That will simulate a wobble extension when needed. Good luck and let me know how it went. Thanks
Thanks.. Good to know.
Thank you
Those are great words for the people who feel they can do it. Me personally I'm a certified aircraft technician, unfortunately not licensed yet, but I try and do all the work on my 03 trailblazer ext 5.3. I've even overhauled my transmission, so I've gotten really in depth when it comes to working on my truck. I been having a lifter problem for about 2 years and getting louder. I noticed some motor oil near the bottom of the transmission, so about to drop the oil pan change gasket and O-rings and I've also noticed that my oil pressure guage stays around 40 no lower and just slightly higher to about 43 or 45.
Sounds like you’re doing great. When I went through college to be a dealership technician, most of the others in my class didn’t come out rebuilding transmissions because they were intimidated by all the parts involved. I just set my goals one at a time and each time went for the next level. I wondered if I could become a nascar engine builder and did. I believe anything is possible if you set your mind to it. Aircraft Technician is impressive. I thought I could cause issues if I didn’t assemble a nascar engine correctly, but an airplane is a whole other level. Keep doing what you want to do and you will do great. That’s important. Let
Me know if you have any questions. As for the lifter issue, could be a number of things. You can run the engine without the rocket cover on and be sure oil is getting to the rockers. Maybe while you have the pan off replace the oil pump. I’d suggest taking the new pump apart, inspecting and cleaning it. Thanks and good luck
@@dhammiam hey that's impressive. A NASCAR TECH! WOW. That's amazing for real. I'm happy you were able to accomplish that. I dropped the pan already and changed out the gasket which was completely flattened. There was very little ínsulation left on the gasket, and also changed to O-ring on the pick up, but still have the lifter problem. Unfortunately! Oil pressure is fine its still around the same 40ish I even feel more power accelerating.
Took me over 12 hours 🤣 only because I was working on the floor and that sucks but she's running good and no more leak. I didn't remove the struts or the sway bar links and when I pulled out the 4x4 actuator the drive shaft came out with it. Lmao, but everything is fine.
@@dhammiam oh and I do have the oil pressure switch that I'm not sure if I should change it or not. I don't ha e any codes, I didn't have them before. No miss fire or anything so either the lifter is stuck or needs to be changed. I'm pricing every thing now. Head gasket, bolts, valve cover gasket etc.
@@JovanValentin711 there’s lots of products that claim to help lifter ticking. You could try some marvel mystery oil for I think maybe 1000 miles? Look that up. I’ve used CD2 before years ago. These are some alternatives to try before digging in. I’d say replace the op sensor if you’re already in there and it’s easy to get to but hold off till then.
@@dhammiam I've already tried other products none worked. Lol. Last I tried was Liqui Moly and no go..... off it must go. I have thw old pressure switch I dont think that's the problem. My pressure is steady around 40 it's been consistent at that, but once I remove the intake manifold I'll change the switch anyway. There is better access that way. Thank for the input
Thanks. I'm gonna change mine today or at least try.
How did it go?
Just did this on my 03 yukon thanks to your help. The ACDelco part came with a little metal gasket that goes over the threads on the sensor. When i was installing it, that metal gasket fell off and I could not find it. Was short on time so I decided to continue the install without it. Any idea if this will cause problems? New sensor seems to be working fine.
May just seep a little oil without it. Otherwise should be just fine
Really cool, this is exactly what is wrong with mine
I’m glad I could help. I think there’s a lot of things people can do themselves instead of spending hard earned money paying someone else especially car repairs. Thank you

if you took the old sending unit out and didnt check to see if the old filter4 was still in the and put the new sending unit in could it mess the new unit up
