I’ve watched a ton of videos on this and you’re the only ones that’s included a diagram and video of the location of the sensor. Thank you for that!!

Totally agree !!! Not to mention the hose removal. HUGE !!!

Just did this job a few days ago. I found a 6" extension with a fine-tooth ratchet works w/o removing stuff. Also, a easy way to remove the screen is to use a 5/16" bolt or lag screw. of any length you like. I find a 2-3" size works for me. Just screw it in a couple turns and pull it out. Eazy peasy.

From all DIY videos, this is the first one that goes straight to the point, nice tricks and no BS involved, like no personal ideas or life experiences, no useless elevator music. Thank you Sir.

The BEST VIDEO ON THIS JOB... i just replaced mine on a 2013 XL Yukon so hard... but Dealership wants $525 labor and charges $210 an hour...The Dealership told me they want to remove the intake manifold that is just the way they do this job WOW... no parts extra money... now i did not remove the brake booster hose i did not know how ... but it is right in the way made so much harder. and that plug would not unclip. it took a lot of work to remove the plug. saw some videos on how to do it. but it was just stuck on there. i just kept on trying and it did come off so lucky for that..... but the real problem was pressure was still at ZERO so i saw a video that said just unplug the BATTERY AND WAIT A FEW MINS AND THEN OIL PRESSURE DASH GAUGE RESET IT SELF OR THE COMPUTER THEN IT STARTED WORKING GOOD yep after all that work and still no luck i did unplug battery and then it was working good... [Before i started this big job ] i did try to just unplug battery and see if was okay then and no did not help... yep you got to get Dealer only parts .... and change out that screen that is the main thing...

I switched from GMC to Toyota about 10 years ago, and I am glad I did!

I' so glad I found this video before I undid the fuel lines and everything else. I found out the hard way there is NO way around getting the hose off without a 90 degree pick. After that it was still a pain but just because I'm not a great mechanic. Thanks for the great video!

This is the best video on this oil pressure sensor out there. Way to put it together and edit. Thank you very helpful.

there are at least 10 other video"s on the oil sensor replacement, and yours is the only one that shows specifically how to remove the booster vacuum hose, after spending an hour trying to work with it in place I got out my pick and released the hose as instructed, finished it up in 30 minutes after that.. Glad I went back till I found your video. Thank you.

THANK YOU , i HAD TO REPLACE MINE TODAY ON MY 2007 SILVERADO, YOUR INFORMATION WAS RIGHT ON THE MONEY,#1 thing , get your booster hose out of the way, makes the access so much easier

Great video on replacing the sensor. It was a big help on changing mine. What really helped was removing the hose from the brake booster which gave me enough clearance to gain access to it. I also bought the socket that fits this sensor. Thanks!

Best video ever on Oil Pressure switch gm vehicles

This was perfect… great demonstration, schematics, straight to the point. Helped me a ton. Thank you.

Just finished this job. Soooo releived it wasnt my bearings! My tips. It took me 3-4 hours. It takes forever but its not hard. My 09 eacalade did not have a screen. Theres 2 different sensors make sure you buy the correct one for your year and make. I did not remove ANY hoses or lines. Just put your extention between the hoses. The other hard issue was disconnecting the connection for me i had to slide a clip of plastic UP, then I had to push in on the button in the middle of the sliding clip and pull up. Theres different style connections so look up how to remove your exact one first. I used a step stool also. Good luck! If you get stuck leave the job and come back the next day fresh. The service guide says this job takes 0.9 hours. It took me 4 hours the first time and now Id say I can do it in about 20 mins. It was all worth it to find out I didnt need a new engine. Its scary not knowing. Now Im back to 35psi at idol and 43 on the highway. My escalade was going nuts about low pressure stop the engine immediately etc. If your gauge says constant low like 14psi thats bad if its saying 35, 75, 138, ---, 22, 70 etc thats for sure the sender or a wire. Only buy the AC delco brand sender, i would advise against the no name china knockoffs, you never want to replace this sender ever again. Also you MUST buy the sender socket, it has rounded edges and fits the connector, a regular deep socket 27mm or 1 1/16 wont be rounded and only about 50% of them will fit the connector all the way in and not too far in. Just get it its $11. Go slow, dont get mad, be patient and youll get it done. Youll need a wobble extension or a 6" extension with u-joint or swivel. May the force be with you!

2013 Sierra here. Getting the plug with the clip undone was a PITA!! Finally had to remove clip to allow access to button. Removing that hose did help a ton! Watched this vid a couple times and got the job done. Thanks for posting!

Dude you are my hero. I was having the hardest time trying to get my socket/extension onto the sensor. Then I found your video about removing the vacuum line. I was thinking it was screwed into the intake. Popping it off was easy and opened everything up. Thank you very much for the tip.

I just replaced the oil pressure sender on my 09 Chev Avalanche with 5.3L. Works great now. Old one was reading Very low, almost 0 KPA and got warning/ fast chime “Low Oil Pressure, turn engine off”. This happened after my truck was sitting for 2 months (bitter cold outside) and then battery was completely discharged (don’t think it is related, just coincidence). This video was the most helpful for me, as other ones have you remove intake manifold.

Good job Oz!!!! Very close to same procedure for 08 5.3l, but no hose removal, just very tight!

Similar thankful words from me for uploading the best video in KZread for the subject. Many thanks. God bless you.

I like you approach by taking off the brake booster hose so you can get to the oil pressure switch a lot easier than the other Video s I have watched, thanks

Great video!! Very helpful!

On my 2007 5.3L Tahoe, there is a hole in the bottom of the plastic shroud (the same shroud the brake booster hose passes through) through which you can see - but can't really access - the pressure sensor. At least it's helpful in homing the socket and in seeing the orientation of the plug when you go to clip it back in. I dropped the new sensor when trying to get it seated. I wish I'd tied a rubber band around the plastic connector with a cow hitch then wore the tag end around my wrist. It took 20 minutes and the skin on two knuckles to get it out. 5/16" bolt idea didn't work as it got no purchase on the filter. I used a pick like OZ. Worked fine. There's an armored hose - I think A/C related - that you work outside of at all times. That is, on the dashboard side of the hose not on the inside of the bend. There is a spring clip on the brake booster connector but just ignore that. There is no need to fool with the spring clip if you just work the connector back as far as it can go, then push the red thing in and tug on the hose.

You explained how to remove both the sensor and filter. Thanks!!!

Just a little tip for anyone out there that the screen is stuck and won't come out with the pick.... I was able to thread a 5/16 course thread eye bolt into the screen and apply enough pressure to pop it out. Don't thread it in too far or it will expand the screen and just add to the problem. Just get it in snug and then give it a pull while wiggling it back and forth. The truck I was working on was a 2013 with 160k. Lots of heat cycles and pretty sure it has never been done before. Thanks again Oz!!

Me and my friends just did this the long way which involved removing the entire intake manifold and it was a bitch. We replaced the sensor only to find that the low oil pressure message didn’t go away. Then we figure out that there is a mesh under that damn sensor that no one mentioned in any other video and now there is the possibility that it’s clogged and that might be blocking the readings to the sensor. So hopefully that’s all it is and not a bad oil pump. Cheers.

Your video is the best I have seen. Your diagrams show exactly where the sensor is located. I don't know exactly how you got your camera into such a tight space but this is the first time I have seen the actual sensor and wiring harness connected to the block. I am definitely going to change out my sensor and screen. I do have to ask one question. Were you standing on a step stool when you removed the sensor?

Carbon!!, I got tired of replacing oil pumps and sensors and found if you pour about half a gallon of berreymans chem dip in the oil when its cool, fire it up, hold the rpm about 1500, you will notice the oil pressure increase right away. Run it up to about 200 degrees, shut it down, and repeat the run up after it cools several times. I like to have 3 days if possible doing this, drain oil, remove filter and blow air back through the two passages the filter uses on the engine. I've done as many as four a week. It also works for decarbonizing the pistons and rings on the 4cyl Gm's that have oil usage problems. Anyhow that's the trick I found works for me.

Thx bro! I know this is gonna piss me off when I do this!😂

Minus that overhang of cowling would be a snap. Access. They should have made a hatch there. Like a three inch rubber plug. Also no trick disconnecting harness. Sensor could have screen built on. Make a pain job just a walk in the park. That plastic shrouded cover doesn’t do anything but get in the way. Can’t remove because nut is hidden.

When you’re plugging back in the vacuum hose, does it just snap in? Or do you have to manipulate that red piece to lock it in? Thanks for the video
