Very helpful video. Firestone was going to charge me 600$ to replace my pressure gauge because they said they'd have to drop the gas tank. Turns out I could reach it just fine without dropping the tank. Went out and bought the part and followed along to this video. Thanks for saving me 600$
Nice angle with the camera. Helpful and quick fix, when I do mine I will stick a vacuum up there, looks like you knocked some of that dirt in your hole.
I did mine without dropping the tank at all but I have a long reach. I also used an air compressor to blow the dust off first and added pure silicone grease to the rubber seal.
Going through evap hell myself now with my 09 LS Silverado 1500 rust bucket. It’s rotting out from under me. May not pass next inspection. Shock mounts rotted and bed rails underneath one is gone. Rear cross member near bumper almost all gone. Sad. Replaced the vent solenoid and light was off for three days then came back on with same code and this 452. Gas gauge broken as well. I’ve had it.
After watching this video, I went and got a new sensor for my own 09 1500 5.3L extended cab. I used my phone to take some pictures above the gas tank so i could see where the sensor was at and saw that two of the wires on the cable that plugs into the sensor itself had been chewed my mice. Wasted 93 bucks on a new sensor because the only one they had in store was the most expensive (of course) and now gotta return it. The truck had been sitting in my grandpa's driveway for about two years, probably only being driven once or twice. I got the truck after he passed, and in that time, mice had found their way into a small area next to the fuel tank and apparently thought those two wires were in the way. Super annoying.
@@andydugan1911 what I ended up doing was parking on some oil change ramps and my brother soldered them lol. Probably not a permanent fix but so far has held for over 2 months of winter and salty roads
Before you pulled the sensor out you should of had blow away all the dirt and crap from the top of the tank so you don't end up plugging the new one with all that junk.
Why not just approximate Location cut a small hole in the truck bed going through the top, replacing the part and then just patch the hole you cut? Too lazy maybe?
never knew johnny sins was also a mechanic, truly a master of all trades
Hahaha I mean he's practically the most talented human alive

I definitely should have done that as well🤙🤙🤙
I love the part where he is looking for the "spot"! Reminds me of high school all over again. Thanks for the vid man. Helped a lot.
You have brain rot bud

I am going to blow it off too. Good idea and with the silicone lube.
What was ur truck doing?

That could be my problem too! Hope not.

Thank you for this video just got a 02 gmc sierra denali 1500 quadrasteer and got this code this was super helpful so thank you again
@@lardjellerslol6115 happy it helped!
Great video! Thank you, very helpful!
Thanks for the video and camera position
What happens if you don't change sensor?
I watched this then went to my truck and easily reached in from the fender side and pulled it out. Didn't have to loosen straps or anything.
Great....i going to clean with air pressure first the tank to remove some dust first...to prevent dirt going into my gas tank
Definitely should have done that myself🤙🤙🤙
I was thinking the same thing.
How did you know you needed to replace this sensor? Auto zone is telling me this could be one of many things that trigger the P0446 code
Awseome, thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent dude! I’m doing this! Thank you!

@@NateTheVet22 happy to hear it!
Is that on the 4.3 liter.2006 silverado
@@terryrideout7457 it's on a 2001 5.3L. Not sure if it's the same part for the 2006, as they started the next generation in 2004.
@youcantoo5376 thank u I'm having problem today my 06 silverado wont start..so changed distributor and cap still no goGod bless you.Happy new year
Thank you
Did you smell a lot of fumes from your gas cap?
I did not
👍👍

What year is this truck in this video?
On 2011 it’s different I think it’s inside the tank
It's a 2001
I thought code p0451 was for the fuel pressure sensor
Both p0451 and p0452 are related to the EVAP system
@@naec7and apparently 0446
And p0454
Yes knock all the dirt in😈🤌🏼
Put some hair around it there bud you’ll find it every time good video 👍
Fixed my truck
I was able to do it without lowering straps or anything.
How?
Only reason i wont like this is cause your likes are currently at “665” and ill be damned if im apart of the problem 😂😂

Maybe he doesn't want to start a corrosion spot by drilling a hole Bubba. 😅
