This exercise took me several hours, and I have tools and am no novice. One should know that I watched quite a few KZread videos before starting, but still had to lay towels over the engine, use a stool, and do some of the work left-handed. I was able to remove one end of a plastic tube at the rear of the engine for more clearance. I did not remove a second tube or the fuel line at its connection. I broke off the gray "protector" on the oil sender harness connector with a screwdriver, and with left hand pushing a long screwdriver against the connector tab and right hand on the connector, I was finally able to release the connector from the oil sender. The special 1 1/16" oil sender socket I bought like 25 years ago did not fit over the sender, I used a 27mm deep socket. Then I used a 1/2" wobble extension, about 5" long, and that was not easy to push into the 27mm deep socket, but the socket had to go on first. Then I used a stubby 1/2" drive flex ratchet to unscrew the oil sender. Of course once that was unthreaded it fell somewhere so that took 15 minutes or more to find & remove. So I went to O'Reilly and bought PS508 oil sender, which actually did fit my special socket (but I still used the 27mm deep one). So with the new sender (I did not even try to find if the engine had a filter screen, I didn't feel one) purchased, I tied a piece of twine around it it case I dropped that, and screwed that in a few turns with my left hand. Then I put the 27mm deep socket over that, then the wobble extension, then the stubby flex ratchet. 15 minutes later I had that screwed in, and actually in similar orientation as the factory one. So 10 minutes more to remove those tools without dropping them. So 15 minutes later I was able to blindly turn the connector to correct orientation to snap that on. I re-connected the one plastic pipe I had removed, and started the Yukon: no oil pressure displayed, and check engine light was still on. So I disconnected the battery, touched cables together to erase all codes/clear computer, reconnected the battery, and started it up: all was working - SUCCESS !!! So even though The Cuss cannot fix everything, I was successful today. Yes, this took me several hours, but since I'd just ordered Mrs. Cusser 4 new tires (as the 5-year-old ones were quite dry-rotted), felt why not save $300 to $500 by doing this myself. Some mechanics apparently remove the entire intake manifold for easy access, but that's labor hours. For me, trouble with the special oil sender socket I had threw me for a loop, but the 27mm deep socket I had did save me. Realize that 4 different times I packed up stuff and quit, saying the mechanic could try his luck Tuesday, but The Cuss is a persistent little cuss, for sure. Mrs. Cusser is ecstatic, and promised to take care of me tonight....

Sound like a pain in the Arse😅😅🤦‍♂️ I'm not getting good pick up speed my oil pressure gauge is Starting to stay at around 22.. I really don't know what else to do .. everything I have researched leads back to a faulty oil pressure sensor I don't have a check engine light or a low oil pressure light yet .. Truck is just not running as it should. :/

Good breakdown 😉

I used a bolt to screw into the old screen and pulled it out. About to tackle this battle again 😂 good video

@ 3:11 tells me the weed kept my man calm through this process that makes me cuss like a sailor everytime one comes in my shop.

"10 minute job if you're good at it or did it before..." So, I'm looking at 4 to 6 hours here, lol. Just kidding, thanks for the video and tips.

@HarmonsHarbor yikes. It took me about an hour. I don't recall the cost of the part, but it wasn't too bad. Although I did scrape the backs of my hands pretty good. It's not easy to get to, even less easy when you have big hands. The real tricky part is getting that screen part out and in.

You made it look easy, maybe I'll knock mine out on my day off. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the great video! 👍🏻

Happy 2022 fer. 🎉 🥳

Great video!

Hahaha he didn’t show how to take it off 😂😂

That why it’s easy to do ..

A lag screw large enough to thread the inside of the basket filter is useful if you run into trouble pulling it up

Thanks!

We have all pray to the car Gods at one time or another.

I think there is a white clip that acts like a lock. You pull the white clip up, then push in a gray button in between the white clip, then pull.

Has anyone figured out what the plastic shield in front of the sensor is for?

Why in the name of gawd do they do this kind of crap to us!? May as well put inside of the exhaust manifold! On on the space ship. I hate people that make things.
