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.
After putting the engineer in jail, give the manager and accountant a bonus for the 3 cents per unit cost savings by making the engineer put the sensor in the worst location possible.
I call that Stupid buy design as it was designed by Stupids!
I have a friend that is an engineer, It is not the engineers so much as the accountants and marketing.
It's easy to get to in my Chevy van
If they are still using the popit type fuel injection, turning the engine over with the fuse out won't release the pressure.. they'll still be around 50 psi or so.
Ray the thing that I like about you is your awesome sense of humor. Also your are one of the most meticulous mechanics. This makes you very enjoyable to watch. ❤🔥
Chevrolet has the worst presser sending units ever. Had to do the one in my wife's 2010 Impala this spring. 10 minute job.
I would be heading north west..this could get ugly. You get to my age and just waking up makes it a good day.
“The best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup.”
That was so 80’s Mr. Ray. That was when Folgers used to sell coffee bricks (coffee bags with all the atmosphere sucked out for guaranteed freshness). Those were the days!!!!
Oh btw; thanks for the throwback Sir.
Considering the age of the vehicle, I would have done the same as Ray and pulled the intake and check connectors and wiring also. I have been bitten several times on older vehicles where the wiring or connectors have became brittle and had issues. Great job Ray!
Same, my plow trucks come to mind, thats a handful of 6.0 gassers with a variety of electrical issues I need to be very careful about when making repairs.
I checked all of mine broke the brittle casing and old tape off and re wrapped most of the wires going to the engine
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.
I was a mechanic for many years until My career ended due to life-altering issues. I just wanted to let you know, that your videos bring me joy and comfort! Thank you!!
I've removed those senders with a standard 1 1/16 before, but you have to be VERY careful and have a perfect straight shot. (Too cheap to buy the socket since I don't do it for a living).
"Supposed to be a hurricane coming" says Ray as he ceaselessly continues to film for us
just another rainy day
Until the water starts coming into your house. Two inches is all it takes to have a totaled house. You have to gut it then. Worse is two feet - cause you watch all your stuff float off and it leaves two inches of mud in its place. Been there done that.
I thought he was going to run around saying the sky is falling the sky is falling the sky is falling but he just manned up and kept on going have a great day
@@michaelpressman7203 nah most people who grew up in florida arent worried about them. general rule of thumb is be worried about a cat 3, get the hell out of the way for a cat 4 or 5. 1 and 2 are just a rainy day. trees down in Florida mean nothing because roots only to down like 3 or 4 feet even if the tree is 100 feet tall the water table just isnt that far down
What a pro! !
Just letting you know I enjoyed the video Ray. I do hope that if the hurricane arrives that first and foremost no one was injured, and secondly that property damage was minimal. I grew up in the tropics of Australia and went through more than a few cyclones. I understand what you guys go through in hurricane season. Stay safe!
Great video as always Ray!! Fingers crossed you don't get too much from the storm; current models have it mostly hugging the west coast heading up to the panhandle, but having lived in Houston a long time I've seen how those things can change direction and get stronger. One of the reasons I'm fine with living up north even if the salt makes fixing cars more of a hassle.
Ray lives right and does right the force is strong within young Ray Walker it shall protect him have a good day
Wonder why GM decided a special socket was needed?
Good luck with the upcoming storm Ray. 👍
Back in the seventies I had a Landrover . Everything on that engine was visable/ within reach from over the fender. what a contrast to what a mechanic has to go through now.
Ray,I hope all of you stay safe in Florida .
Couple years back when I was in my teens, my dad replaced the sending unit on a Tahoe but told the customer to order OEM parts and they bought the cheapest one off ebay and insisted on it being installed, needless to say they eventually listened when the issue came back and he told them this would happen lol it was not even two months and it broke again, put a OEM part and it's still working now
I wish you and your family the best during this hurricane. Stay safe and protect your family as I know you will. P.S. GREAT video!
After you do a few of those senders with the intake on and get the hand motions down they're really not that bad. Stubby ratchet and wobble extension. Just removing the fuel lines makes it much easier too.
Yeah I’ve never removed the intake
Yup, I've done 2 or 2 without removing the intake.
** 2 or 3 ...
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.
I am only a few minutes in, and I have got to say that the Suburban you are working on appears to be exceptionally well cared for. The 1999-2007 full size GM chassis trucks are really hard to beat. BEST of luck and safety to you and your family with the possible approaching storms.
Yes indeed , I have a 02 Tahoe. With 275k miles since new. I have put some money into it. Like a head gasket, replaced exhaust valves while there. It didn’t have the defective castech heads that GM encountered in these years. Thankfully… rebuilt trans with corvette servos…And normal wear and tear parts etc etc Since then i can’t break this truck. Just do faithful maintenance.
They are tanks! About 7 years ago I was hit by a drunk driver who was in an early 2000 suburban. She went the two traffic lights and the traffic control box before slamming into my rear fender. Needless to say everything bent to will of the suburban and it didn’t have a scratch on it other than a small dent in its chrome bumper. My Nissan Sentra on the other hand did not fair too well.
@@chronovore7234
I had a Nissan Xterra rear end me and totaled their SUV I suffered a dented tailgate repair and bumper replacement. I even tried to move away from the collision in the lane next to me anticipating his collision. He still found me. 😂 anti lock brakes I guess locked anyway in the rain.
I need to ask (hopefully Ray see's this), is this the same truck you did the knock sensors on?
@@Marineio yes, he said that at the beginning of the video
Great repair, Ray. My only critique would be losing like 20 bucks in fuel when you unhooked the fuel line. Not really your fault though that gas prices are ridiculous.
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.
If you know the hurricane is coming.....bring the chickens into the house. I'm sure you must have a back porch or a room you can put tarps down with bedding and set cages on it with the chickens in the cages. Fresh water/food for them. They are worth a little mess.
That you need a special oil pressure sensor socket because weird nut shape is bloody annoying. I bought one a month or so ago and have used it twice. Once to take out old unit, once to install new one. WHY????? I'm keeping it just so I can beat the next auto engineer I see to death with it...
I didn’t realize you had so many critics of your work. Anyone can armchair mechanic. I appreciate you Ray!!! Keep up the great videos
In battle, it is always easier to lead troops from the rear than from the front.
At least those armchair guys have an opinion or a view. What's next, spelling and punctuation complaints?
@@billtmarchi4320 I did hear Ray say “their” when he should’ve said “there” at one point
@@buttfingerblaster LOL
Good day to you Ray from all your friends in the UK! 😊🇬🇧
Man I'll tell you if those armchair mechanic snowflakes with just keep their mouth shut for a moment and they might just learn something, a guy that's been doing it the way you've been doing it Ray learns a lot of little shortcuts or learn the easiest way to do the job and some of those armchair mechanics is just that their arm chairs and their minds are working overtime, if they would just open their ears close their mouth keep their fingers off the damn keyboard they might just learn something.
I like to call them "mouth wrenches" . :)
Busted a gut when he was showing off his wobbly and dropped it. Always here for a laugh thanks ray!!
You are awesome love your humor. And you are an awesome wrench
16:40 Seems like the manufacturer are always making thing more difficult for the DYI to work on anything!
Well, you used the oil pressure gauge in the dash cluster as your multimeter to troubleshoot the wiring. Basically the same thing in this troubleshooting process.
You did say you all. That's what they call a Southern Florida accent. But same difference As a Southerner.
Back in the 70’s and probably later, GM used to mount the oil sending switch on the front of the engine. It was literally a 2 minute job to replace it.
Haven’t even watched the video, already know it’s a bad oil pressure sensor on the engine, I’ve replaced a bunch of those, they seem very common to fail on those trucks
Dual battery option on that Tahoe, rare for a 1/2 ton GMT800
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!!
You actually removed the intake? I’ve replaced dozens of those with the sender socket, extension, and a swivel. Never once had an issue. 10 minute fix. Back when I was a kid working part stores, I’d just do them for people in the lot because I was so fast with them.
My 05 gt mustang does have meiling hi vol hi pressure oil pump when warm up it set on 75 it was only at 18 before i did complete timing parts it ben running fine last 2 years
“I love playing with myself” me too ray… “that came out wrong” oh yeah I didn’t mean it like that either 😅
Could you have used the scan tool to see the measured oil pressure from the sensor to see if the gauge was reading what it was being told?
All I wanted was for you to reach up & grab the ever loving leaf!!!
Great video Ray. Hope you and your family stay safe with the hurricane coming. Be safe.
Ray your last vid you said that diagnostic tool you use was 3000 bucks i nearly fell over and had a wee dram of scotch whisky to get over it lol
That's insane, to have to do all that to get to a sensor.
But moving it from the closest spot to the instrument cluster would have required up to an extra 8" of wire! EIGHT INCHES!!!
Other guys are saying they could change it out by just reaching around to the back without removing everything.
@@TheFrenchPug Ray said that as well.
@@siegelge You're right. He said it was too hot to do it that way. I missed that. I guess it wouldn't make for a great video either.
@@TheFrenchPugidk, who doesn’t like a reach around video 😊?
When I was young we were so poor my parents cut the bottoms out of my pockets so I had something to play with
I bet the next one of these that comes in for knock sensors gets an oil sending unit regardless...and vise versa!
Hope you're family and home is ok
You pulled that manifold in 15 minutes. When I did my knock sensors almost 10 years ago on my 02 silverado... that took me hours!
Rainman Ray Is going to get some serious rain. Time to take a short vaca to Miami
"Same Difference" is my favorite saying right up there with "It'll Be A'ight" or as they say in Swahili "Hakuna Matata"!
The speedometer and the RPMs were pegging out too, it was not just the oil pressure. I think some others too.
My dad had 100's rule #1 when replacing knock sensors replace oil sending unit because it will fail!
This is a common problem and the sender always fails! Have not gone through the whole video yet but you don't need to remove the intake! Besides you have all those wiggly tools!
All these sensors going bad in weird ways makes you wonder how it would go down if the sensor was fine and something was really happening that caused 80psi of oil pressure, that would definitely make a more interesting video, good luck with Ian, stay safe
I am getting the feeling that every other day there is either a hurricane or some monsoonrains.
Removed that with the intake on, with a wrench, in my vett... Dropped the old sensor, still stuck back there somewhere... Stay safe!!!!
Yeah I dropped my screwsdriver trying to get my distributor cap off ... That area seems to be a black hole.
renumber the song here i am rock you like a h it gos so well in your state.
That mini pry bar appears to be invaluable
If I am not badly mistaken you replaced that oil sending unit last time you where working on that SUV you replaced it because they have known to fail and you where already working in that area.
Fel-pro really are the best gaskets. I had a tour of their factory many years ago. Those folks care about quality!
Proper way to diagnose if your oil pressure sending unit is bad is to check the grille for a Chevy or GMC badge. If it has one and the gauge is at 80, it's the sending unit.
Both dash and sending unit are common on this truck to go bad 😂
You mentioned there was a hurricane coming which means you are in Florida. Wish you were in Houston.
you really had me falling of my seat with laughing when the socket came off , but you sorted it all again well done and thanks for the video
I put an alternator in my car last week and I dropped my 12 mm socket hunted for it with a flashlight and a magnet could not find it drove the car was running great but and two days later I said I got to find that socket I opened the hood look down and there it was sitting at the bottom of the engine cover that protective thing under my motor that does I don't know what and hey I must live right cuz I got my socket back and I hate breaking up sets have a good day
I heard it hit the floor. I was like YESSSSSSS
I was waiting for… socket gravity. lol
We can learn alot, just by watching you, thank you Ray.
How on earth do you remember. Where everything goes on assembly. Totally amazing ..
Not as difficult as you would think. Most everything will lay back in plqce where it goes and electrical connections will only plug into it's mating connector.
Morning Ray, thanks for the video! They are my favorite companion to my morning coffee 🫡
I don't know why, but the 8mm wibbly-wobbly "fling to freedom" made me smile. Thanks!
Wow! You're STILL spamming this guy! WTF! Get a life, dude!
So what's with all that orange sealant around those two rubbers between the heads? What do those wires do?
Right
Hope yall stay safe with these storms coming yalls way Ray!
The servos in early 2000's Chevys are known to go bad. My 05 Silverado had bad servos. Nice thing is that there are cheap after market servos available that are really easy to replace without having to replace the whole cluster. Changing mine start to finish took about an hour.
Side note: I do have a great picture of a police car in front of me and a red light in front of him with my speedometer pegged.
Even though we were stopped, the pegged speedometer in the photo made it look like me and the cop blew the light doing 120mph.
Stepper motors.
The exact same thing happened on my Australian made 97 Ford Fairlane 4 Litre strait 6. You can get to the sender underneath the car using the correct socket oh and it helps if you can dislocate your thumb and elbow!💪🖖😂🤣😁
I herd those things so reliable, they can run on a teaspoon of oil.
Who needs a gage for that ?
I've done 5 of them without removing the intake. First time I did a lot of cussing. Now it's easy lol.
oil pressure sending unit is common
That Burb looks really tidy, glad the owner seems to be keeping it well maintained.
I had to replace the sending unit on my 05 Sierra a while back and managed to do it with just the over off. Mind you it was a total pain and I planned to do it before driving so no heat to deal with.
This is the chevy you had to drill the knock sensors on?
Always enjoy your videos. Stay safe over on the Westside. I'm over on the Eastside below Daytona. Going to be a bit windy soon.
Yeah he's in a shop in Sarosota like half an hour north of me, crazy, stay safe ray
Throwing parts as a diagnostic method can work well under the right circumstances. Depends on many factors.
Wish oil sending units were in a more accessible area. A lot of work for a simple little part.
What have you done to my brain, every time that phone rang I doo doo dooo with it.
After seeing this video, I will keep my older vehicles.
You don’t know how happy I am seeing you struggle with that fuel tool … I thought it was just me !!
I guess I'm here to watch Ray struggle. His resilience to adversity makes his videos worth the watch. You know I love you Ray, keep up the good work.
Helps to release as much line pressure as possible. They clip on, but are held on firmly by the pressure behind them. That's why they use them for fuel lines, the more pressure they are under, the more secure they are.
Hope you are prepared for the weather headed your way
Ray is always prepared he thinks everything through and I guarantee the way he lives he'll be fine have a great day
Heyyyy...I drink Folgers...try it on vanilla ice cream...ohhhh...now I'm shaking...yummy!!!
Ray's self promotion noted. Thumbs up clicked! Anyone know how many of those 'special sockets' are needed these days, my tool box feels incomplete, without a full compliment of regular and special sockets. Note to self, watch for tool truck.
I have the Blackhawk version of that 1-1/16 socket from decades ago when I was setup tech for wire cutting machines at a factory that made...wiring harnesses for cars and trucks.
Be careful both at work and home. Remember the hurricane and protect the family.
Why oh why do they put stuff like this in impossible spots!
Time for some 8mm wobbly bits then the socket goes flying. Bro I about lost it. Had me laughing so hard. 🤣
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
Whats its oil power level....its OVER 8000!!!!!
Meh, dragonball joke 🤣
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.
Over "80 PSI!!" is BS, and YOU know it ... Please Click-Bait .. Somewhere Else ..
Unbelievable, just to get to the oil pressure sender unit you practically have to dismantle the engine. No wonder the cost of repairs is so high. Once again General Motors mechanic friendly vehicles.
I prefer mixing Blackout dark roast and Deathwish dark roast coffees together.
It has never ceased to amaze me how the Star Trek merchandise folks missed out on hawking Klingon coffee, or raktagino (sp). It could have been the Carolina Reaper of coffee!
But, if the regular stuff doesn't get it done, try espresso.
THAT'S ILLEGAL!!! Ya'll ain't allowed to use 'Ya'll' unless ya live in a Western state, cuz, Murka!!!
Just wanted to put a comment here. I did one of these sensors on my 05 suburban and I did it without removing the upper intake. It took like 15 minutes and the job was done. I understand why mechanics in shops would do this, because the book more than likely says to remove intake, but with the right socket and extensions it can be done. I am simply sharing my own experience, no hate towards Rainman.
I bought the socket just for my Chevy... Didn't work, I just ended up using a 21 mm if I remember correctly...worked fine.... Took 15 mins removing nothing else
I use to use electric tape on them
Hurricane Ian? My wife and daughter are down visiting family in inverness...... Hopefully stays out to sea.
Just seen the weather forecast. I wish all the best for Ray, his colleagues and families for the upcoming nightmare. Stay safe everyone
