3.6 Pentastar oil pressure sender woes.....

well shoot, the uppers and lowers were white but both were proud of the mounting plane so they still had some spring in them. Now the cooler O-rings were as flat and hard as rocks so they were definately ready to be replaced. Got it all back together and the code came back, took the NEW sender out and put the junkyard one in and it worked like a charm. I am the master at doing these senders in the minivan now. I did the entire R&R in about 5 minutes. The correct socket is key, deep 1 1/4 that fits over the socket (mine was a GM Mr Goodwrench) and a 6" extension. Grease the outside of the socket as it seems to ride on the water hose in there and it really creates an artificial drag. I used some long nosed pliers and removed the plug (the hardest part) put the socket on the old one and removed. Put working sensor in socket (tape the threads or put some sealant on them) and work it back into the threads and tighten to 15 ft/lbs. put plug back on and your ready to reset code and cross fingers.
