First step: Remove fuel pump fuse, crank starter for a few seconds to remove fuel and pressure from fuel line in order to release the grips on the line. Second step, have engine engineers put in jail for stupidity for putting the sensor in a position that required the removal of 1/3rd of the engine to access sensor.

I did it with a deep well socket, 3 in long extension, universal joint, and ratchet. All half inch drive. A 6-in extension is too long but a 3 in extension and universal is just right. The ratchet handle will swing over top of everything but the ratchet will still fit under the bump out of the firewall. The only thing I removed other than the sending unit is the plastic cover on top of the engine. Fuel rails stayed in place.

Ray, you made my life very easy with this video. Had a 5.3l Chevrolet Savanna come into the shop, probably the only one in Europe. We had already replaced the transfer case and did the TSB fill procedure. Then I noticed the oil pressure gauge doing the same as in this video. Fortunately I was able to pull the rear engine cover inside the car to get at the sensor since US car parts in Europe are scarce (took six months to get the transfer case from the US). We made a special socket and got the sensor swapped out without any issues. Pressure gauge now reads as it should. Thank you for this video as it made it a very easy job seeing where it is and what’s needed.

The oil pressure gauge on my 2004 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L with 200k+ miles has been pegged above 80 psi for, I don't know, probably 6 or 7 years now. It has no relationship to the actual oil pressure, fortunately, but also no relationship to the sending unit--just a stepper motor issue. It also never throws any codes.

Alright so by the book you have to take off the intake... Which you dont. Get an OEM Tools oil pressure socket from autozone. Then have a half inch swivel and a short extension. Maybe 3 inch. And thats all. The hardest part is to feel for the sensor. Once you have it disconnected its easy. The socket just falls in. Of course you can test your socket on the new part before finding you may have bought the wrong one. The sensor at autozone is $35.... With a lifetime warranty.. yes "well im special which makes the car special and it needs an original" fine spend the extra dollars at the dealership. No warranty by the way since its an electrical item with a 20% restocking fee.Either way... When doing a diagnostic sometimes it just better to replace a $35 part instead of wasting an hour time extra and etc.... Also its like $250-$350 job cause of the intake. I just be humble for like $200 plus the part and make that in 15 min. If the changing the sensor didnt work then you can say its a circuit issue. But for $20 which is what your shop bought for and charged the customer probably $120 its isnt worth all that headache. Nay sayer out!!

I will say this because I noticed this engine has it. That vaccum line going from the fuel pressure regulator to the top of the intake has the 90 degree bend that connects to the pressure regulator. When I changed my oil pressure sensor (Sending Unit) I somehow accidently snapped that tube and thought... "no big deal I'll buy another one.." WRONG!! NO ONE and I mean Literally NO ONE has that tube with the 90 degree bend not even eBay ( there are two styles the 90 and a 45 degree) and the 90 it has been discontinued by GM for a while. Unless you can find it in a junk yard, and I looked in two for it, You will literally be screwed. One end as you can see at 4:13 is a big end and the other end is very small and narrow. I was able to fix mine with JB Plastic weld thankfully but if you can't you may be able to swap the pressure regulator with one with the 45 degree nipple for about $100 and then swap the tube which can you find anywhere for around 20 bucks. I dont for certain if that will work tho.

I can't believe the amount of plastic components that are used in the manufacturing of cars,no wonder shit breaks down regularly,its unbelievable when you look at cars that were made back in the 60s and 70s and compare them to anything made from the 80s onwards.

I see why modern engines have plastic covers, it's to cover up wires and hoses. Remember when engines looked cool? Ray, just drink coffee all day!

Had a van with pegged oil pressure. I even got oil changes between oil changes. Turns out after years of using the same quick oil change service they were not changing the filter. The filter turned round and eventually blew the gasket out. Luckily I saw the Guage drop and turned it off. The filter was clogged to the top. Yeah, I got a free oil change and they assured me the no filter change guy was fired. Unfortunately my engine didn't last long after that and thanks to Obama requiring all truck engines be destroyed I never found a replacement.

Throwing parts as a diagnostic method can work well under the right circumstances. Depends on many factors.

I enjoy the video but for crying out loud man why all the extra work of removing the plenum when 30 to 45 mins the crank sensor could be replaced without all the extra work I just don’t understand your way of doing things work smarter not harder

Pro-tip, get smaller hands. About 1/2 the time I can unplug them and once it's unplugged the sensor can be removed without pulling the intake off. The other half of the time the intake has to come off because the clip is rotated the wrong way. 100% of the time they need intake gaskets anyway.

I read through some of these comments and I ask myself how many of these guys who KNOW that they can do this in ten minutes without removing all the crap in the way are Professional Mechanics / technicians? Ray is a consummate professional who worked for GM dealerships he knows what needs to be done and how. I am a professional engineer with a master's degree and an associates degree in two engineering disciplines. I constantly have to teach the younger guys that cutting corners and doing things haphazardly may get them out of the door quicker but the job will come back with other issues alongside the original problem. If you are not a pro in the automotive field then you do you and let Ray do Ray, he knows what he is doing his troubleshooting skills are top drawer his overall understanding of the problem allows him to flex his skills accordingly. If you are going to comment then that's good for feedback but being a negative know it all does absolutely nothing for anyone apart from your own ego! If your ego needs stroking go look in a mirror and whisper self platitudes to yourself it will make you feel so much better and your ego will stroked and you can walk around with your head held high telling yourself you know more than a seasoned professional in his chosen field.
