Re: oil pressure sender
Yeah. I did it a while back. I removed the coil,dist cap and rotor. spark plug wires(I use wire markers to identify plug wires) and a few vac lines so I can see good. I think that was it. I was able to get a long socket on it and remove it. I had to lay on the engine and do it but it was not that hard. Make sure you use teflon tape. the hardest part was getting the plug back on. The tabs are soft and bend easy. I had to do mine 2 times because the first unit was defective from napa(alway had good luck with napa parts?), I used a Kragens one and it worked perfect.

Re: oil pressure sender
Im in the same possision, my damn sender reads like 70 at idle and doesnt change much untill the engine warms up, then it MIGHT read normally or it might stay at 70psi depending on how much a bitch the ty wants to be on that particular day.

Re: oil pressure sender
ok just replaced the oil sender still didnt fix my problem. is there a fuse for the fuel pump anywhere?
heres the story, i dont want to tell it b/c i was an idiot for doing what i done . when i was installing electric fan on the truck, rather than running a wire to the fuse box, i decided to take the lazy way out and look for a factory plug that didnt have anything plugged into it, and also powered on with the ignition. i had done this before on other cars with no problems.
well the only wire i found that fit the description, just happened to be the fuel pump prime wire located at the back of the intake. after running all my wires for the fan, i plugged my hot wire for the fan into the fuel pump prime wire:banghead:. everything worked great, for about a second and a half. the fan back fed into the wire and made some kick ass fireworks:rock:, and the truck imediately shut off . i have been trying to find the fix every since then. right now i have a jump wire ran into the fuel pump prime wire so the fuel pump comes on and i can drive the truck (probably a fire in the making :tup: ). you can hear the fuel pump run from the time the key is switched on until its switched off, so i know the fuel pumps life expectancy isnt all that great with my current custom jerry rigged setup. im guessing i have fried a wire/s somewhere just have to find it/them. the relay was replaced when i done my little screw up, so the relay is good. the truck doesnt get driven that much, the occasional trip to the store and back is about it.
can anyone shed some light on what it may be? or where the fix may lie?
go ahead and flame on i deserve it . i did learn a valuble lesson though, dont be a lazy bastard and do it right. especially when it will only take 2 more minutes.

Re: oil pressure sender
they're in the bottom couple on the fuse block... a 10A and a 15A IIRC

Re: oil pressure sender
Well, there's the pressure sender, the fuel pump relay, the ECM fuel drive circuit... thats about all I can think of. Obviously the fuel pump harness is intact if it will run with a jumper. I would test the ecm to see if it's still switching.... I know the pinouts are around somewhere, I'll see if I can't find themscrape said:i found them thanks. they were good. the relay was replaced when i done this booboo, so they should be fine. the only other thing i can think of now is i have some wires fried somewhere.

Re: oil pressure sender
The ECM drive circuit is the one that primes the pump and then runs it for however long it is needed.
it should be pin 11 on the small black ecm connector
(http://www.syty.huryde.com/wp-content/uploads/2005/12/ecm_connector_1.gif)
I would test there for trigger voltage (probably 12v) when you turn the truck on, and then test it at the relay and see if it is still triggering there (wire is green/white #465)

Re: oil pressure sender
I'm thinking that SoGT's and Sy's don't have the same ecm connectors.
