Thank you for making this video. I have had my 07 Sierra a long time and want to keep it. I watched your video around noon, decided I could it, bought the parts at 4:30, and took about an hour and half as I had to play around in order to get the original sensor loose. Got the mesh out with a snipped hanger and haven’t looked back. Thanks for a great video that ended up saving me $500 or more
This is the 4th video I've watched. The best one by far. Even showed us how to check and test the gage. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!
Fantastic . I had pulled the brake booster hose off the back of the intake. I didnt see at first the red release tab thingy. I needed to use a small screwdriver to pull in or push in the red ring towards the front of the truck and the hose slipped out while i pulled on it. Your best part showing that screen being removed. Thanks for a great view.
Great job! I watched a lot of these videos about changing the oil pressure sensor, and this was the best one. You got a thumbs up and a new subscriber, and I'm sharing this with my son. Thank-you!
Thanks so much I just bought the part and decided to tackle it after watching your vid. I was worried about the screen. But that pick thing worked great
Just did this on my 2009 Suburban. I replaced both the sensor and the screen. Went from a sketchy 15-20 psi to about 50 psi while driving. Hope it works out for y’all. Tony
The screen is the issue, older models like 05 and before never had it. I removed the screen on my 13 sierra and installed the new sensor by itself, been working great for 2 years already.
My oil pressure gauge is still operational, I've replaced the sensor several times and that CEL keeps coming back about halfway through each oil change. Temps affect it too
My opinion is getting cheap oil changes at a quick oil place is his issue. But 23 psi at idle is plenty of oil pressure, and it went up with a little rpm. I believe the factory min specs is well below that. The owner did change the oil after I changed the sensor and the pressure did go up more. I could've changed his oil but he wanted to go to his normal oil change place. People need to realize that just because you've been going to someone for years, doesn't mean they are doing what's best for you or your vehicle. I often work on vehicles that "their normal guy" can't figure out. When it's the normal guy that is the issue.
I have this truck and it is doing crank no start with 0 oil pressure and my handheld threw the code for oil pressure sensor. My question is: will this cause a crank no start
Did the same thing, after cleaning the screen multiple times and then replacing it, still gets clogged so I took it out and pressure is back to normal.
I never really thought about cutting out the plastic piece. I don't normally cut things when I'm repairing other peoples vehicles. I often can't see what I'm working on, and do it by feel. Thanks for watching!
Same here... Ive been running it with the sensor out and no problems. I bought the part months ago and been hesitant to change it but after this video ima get on it asap
@@alexanderb8183 I know this is a late response but if you have a 6.2L your in for a nightmare of a day.. I did mine the day before yesterday and had to disconnect the vacuum and the fuel line and even then it was a pain in the ass BUT it's definitely worth the time and bloody hand .. because if you bring it to a dealer or shop they will pull the intake manifold an now that 45 dollar part is now a 600 dollar project.. it's worth the pain but I'll never do it again
People say yes and some say no if there's no leaks and your not losing oil and the level on the stick is good you can drive it but when something really happens the motor will go toast quickly.. also if you're check engine light goes on it won't pass inspection.. because even if you clear the error code the light will pop on and you'll fail..
I believe O'Reilly's but not 100% for sure. I've had most my tools for yrs and if I need a new one, they are normally the first place I look. If they don't have it or I have time to wait, I order a lot from Summit Racing.
Hey so my oil pressure is around the same right now But fluctuating when i press the gas and all that. Shouldn’t it mostly stay steady at like 40 psi ?
I also couldn't feel a screen in there when I tried to pull one out. I didn't have a camera to be able to see. I used a pick and couldn't find one in there. I tried to put one in but it didn't seem to fit. I replaced the oil sensor and it seems fine once again.
Well.... Its an oil pressure sensor socket that has multiple sizes within the socket to fit different size sensors. Go to O'Reilly's and tell them you need an oil pressure sensor socket and I'm sure they'll hook you up!
Those ### things are a pain in the ###. They fail are expensive hard to reach and shut down engines with false readings. Hidden down in a inaccessible hole they go bad at the most in opportune time. Could have put the ### thing where you could actually service it. A five dollar Chinese part for over hundred dollars to go bad in six months. Tricky to remove hidden wire connector behind useless cover. No wonder people by Japanese vehicles.
I see you also have that obnoxious TPMS warning light that doesn't seem to ever go away! Hahaha is there NO WAY to get rid of that freakin thing?? It is mostly useless anyway!!
I did that job on my 05 Silverado.
It’s in a very tight area, Very difficult to film. You managed to capture it, good job.

Thorough video of a hard to see part! Fantastic walkthrough for someone like myself who needs to do this! Thank you!

Thanks so much I just bought the part and decided to tackle it after watching your vid. I was worried about the screen. But that pick thing worked great
I loved your video. I have not seen anyone else remove the filter without removing the intake so yours was very encouraging. Thanks again 👍👍
Just did this on my 2009 Suburban. I replaced both the sensor and the screen. Went from a sketchy 15-20 psi to about 50 psi while driving. Hope it works out for y’all. Tony
Mine went from normal 40 to zero no beeping and no codes
The screen is the issue, older models like 05 and before never had it. I removed the screen on my 13 sierra and installed the new sensor by itself, been working great for 2 years already.
So you think it’s better to run it without the the screen?
Would a 2008 2500hd 6.0 have the screen? I've been reading mixed thoughts on it
Great video man straight to the point no bull crap.
Great video. Very clear instructions
Great video man!!! Made it so easy to understand thanks for making it!!!
Best video on this job ive seen
Oh! You make it look easy. Thanks
Excellent video thanks for taking the time to get the video shots
Awesome video. Thank you. By far the most informative.
Nice video, good camera work. And you didn’t have to say any “profanity”.
Great camera work!
This is definitely the best video and instructions of how to do this, thank you so much.
My oil pressure gauge is still operational, I've replaced the sensor several times and that CEL keeps coming back about halfway through each oil change. Temps affect it too
How do you unclip the wire? Is it a squeeze and release or pull and release?
Its a "FUCCCCKKKKKKKKK GM!!!!!" ... and not release.
What size socket is that? Is it a deep socket. Also is it a special socket for the sensor or will any standard socket work.
It was an oil pressure sensor multi size socket. I don't remember if it was a short or taller one. Thanks for watching!
Doesn’t the oil pressure gauge need to be at 40- 45 whenever you turn it on?
Something still not right.

Need to replace that little filter under the sensor.
Is it necessary to switch the screen too?
I have this truck and it is doing crank no start with 0 oil pressure and my handheld threw the code for oil pressure sensor. My question is: will this cause a crank no start
No.
I have the p0521 code saying oil pressure sensor, but my dash gauge is reading 80 instead of 0. Would that still mean a bad sensor?
A faulty sensor can peg out the gauge. May check your wiring and make sure it looks good also.
What brand is that socket. I have bought two and neither will go on the sensor.
I purchased mine from Amazon
bought one at oreilly for 10$
Oreillys, brand Lisle part 13250
What’s the size of the socket ?
Memory serves, 1 1/4
Great job. You made it look like a job I can do. 🇺🇸
Great video thank you a lot !!
Thanks for watching!
Throw the screen away and install the new sending unit. You don't need the screen.
Did the same thing, after cleaning the screen multiple times and then replacing it, still gets clogged so I took it out and pressure is back to normal.
😮
@@jamesboyd8323any issues re screen removal now some time past ?
Thinking doing the same .
Still no more issues oil pressure no screen
Thinking doing the same
How long can you ride without this part
Helped a lot thanks bud!
Thanks for this video your the man !!!
Thanks!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you......saved my bacon.
What can I do if I don’t find that filter inside ?
😊😊well done with explaining how to do that jab done ✅
How come no one ever cuts that plastic piece out so you can see what you are doing? What does it do?
I never really thought about cutting out the plastic piece. I don't normally cut things when I'm repairing other peoples vehicles. I often can't see what I'm working on, and do it by feel. Thanks for watching!
ad in the middle of a troubleshooting video. thanks
Great video! How did you get so close to it? Creeper?
The best video on this job! 👏 I
Your opinion...Can I still run my truck for a couple of days then get this done I mean it has oil
I've been running mine for months. I put earplugs in
Same here... Ive been running it with the sensor out and no problems. I bought the part months ago and been hesitant to change it but after this video ima get on it asap
@@alexanderb8183 I know this is a late response but if you have a 6.2L your in for a nightmare of a day..

@@donbooblio8925 disconnect the front drivers side speaker and it won't make that warning chime that'll drive you insane lol
You wouldn't make it far without oil pressure.
Will it hurt if you don't change the sensor
People say yes and some say no if there's no leaks and your not losing oil and the level on the stick is good you can drive it but when something really happens the motor will go toast quickly.. also if you're check engine light goes on it won't pass inspection.. because even if you clear the error code the light will pop on and you'll fail..
Thank u my friend I’ll do mine right now
What size motor was this? I have the 4.8L... is it in the same spot?
Yes.
Great vidoe thanks for the help 👍
I’m having trouble with my 1 1/16 seem to be too short
Thanks great video!
Great video!
By chance where did you buy the socket at ?
I believe O'Reilly's but not 100% for sure. I've had most my tools for yrs and if I need a new one, they are normally the first place I look. If they don't have it or I have time to wait, I order a lot from Summit Racing.
Thank you very helpful 👍🍻
This the same as a 07?
What happens if I drop my sensor
Hey so my oil pressure is around the same right now
But fluctuating when i press the gas and all that.
Shouldn’t it mostly stay steady at like 40 psi ?
My mechanic said that was normal for these trucks for the way it runs the oil systems.
I have a gmc sierra 2500hd 2007 and there is no screen like on your truck.
Its a 6.0L
I also couldn't feel a screen in there when I tried to pull one out. I didn't have a camera to be able to see. I used a pick and couldn't find one in there. I tried to put one in but it didn't seem to fit. I replaced the oil sensor and it seems fine once again.
Thankz👍
Put a new sensor and filter in and then change oil with Amsoil.
Thanks
why not just replace the screen? the sensor is probably fine.
what if i just clean the original screen? ha
@@dattmuffy yeah, if the screen is clogged, the sensor can't get an accurate reading. so if you clean it, well?
What SIZE socket !????fkkkkkk sakes
Well....
Its an oil pressure sensor socket that has multiple sizes within the socket to fit different size sensors. Go to O'Reilly's and tell them you need an oil pressure sensor socket and I'm sure they'll hook you up!

Sh!t can the screen! it will always clog.
