How to replace the oil pressure sensor on a GM 6.0 L in a 2005 GMC Yukon XL Denali; though this would be very similar for any Chevy 5.3L or 4.8L LS engine.
This is a short video I put together in hopes to make this job easier for other do-it-yourselfers out there. It took me an hour to do, and that included video and messing with my new tiny camera.
This is my first shot at how-to, so comment, share, like and all that good stuff. I’ll be doing more- mostly with my ‘29 Ford Model A sedan in the future so I appreciate your feedback.

Air Power! ⚡️Thanks for the instructional video. Ill be doing this tomorrow. Looks like a 1 beer job. Subscribed.
Good luck!! Thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing!
Gonna tackle this project on my parents Yukon this afternoon. Thanks for the step by step video dude, I feel much better about getting this done now that I’ve seen it done.
Right on! I hope this helps- That’s why I do this.
Hey man I was really going to take my intake off my fuel rail the whole nine yards 😲
So thank you, I got mine done in less than an hour as well!
You are a "bad hombre"
Thanks!! I’m so glad this helped!
Good solid, straight to to the point video. Good job and that is a great idea using the flexible camera. Thanks for including the links for those items.
Thanks!!
i can't get to where you put flex camera info..i get "top* and "new" comments that i been going thru to see if you posted camera info again. great video, seen a lot others that don't even come close to yours. i used piece of plywood with wooden blocks under it so it sat above the engine and i could stay at it as long as it would take. in the end,got my wife up in there, smaller hand and arm...plywood was what made it possible

Spot on - get to do this same job on the exact same vehicle tomorrow afternoon. Your video is perfect. Thank you! ....funny thing....my wife bought me the exact same scope/camera for Christmas.
That’s a funny coincidence! I hope the job goes quick and easy for you.
Great video with your camera and video I was able to replace it in about 45 minutes! Thanks!!!
That's great! I'm glad you found the video useful, that's why I do this. thanks!
Thanks so much I seen other videos that discouraged me because you had to take a lot of stuff this was truly easy and helpful I got the job done because of you
Thanks! I'm glad you found the video helpful, that kind of feedback makes me glad I started this channel.
Only problem I had was you didn’t mention what size extension was needed I bought a 10 inch and it was way to big but I got it done and I didn’t have to pay for labor somewhere just the part!
Thanks for the video. I'm ready to tackle this job on my 03 Yukon!
Right on! Good luck and let us know how it went.
By far the best video I’ve seen on changing this things out thank you sir
Thanks! I’m glad it was helpful.
I enjoy your videos. Keep up the videos, please. Very informative and detailed, Thank you.
Thank you for the support and kind words!
Great vid - getting ready to tackle this on my '04 Silverado in a couple days.
Nice! It’s not too hard. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much. Big help!
Awesome! Glad it helped.
Thanks for this!
michael williams I am glad you could use it.
I've got small arms and hands and can do this in 10 minutes. And yes, that lisle socket is key to the job. Don't you love it when you drop the new sender under the intake?
Haha, yep! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the excellent video. Very helpful as I have the same problem on my 5.3 low oil pressure !
I’m glad you found the video useful. Thanks for watching!
Was it making a lifter noise or was it running poorly? My oil gauge just stays at zero when u start it it doesn’t move
@@milwaukeesav6699 it was running fine with no lifter noise. The sending unit was bad.
@@BadHombreGarage mine has a knock I went to 2 mechanics and they both said the motor is fine it’s the lifter I’m hoping the motor isn’t gone 😭
@@milwaukeesav6699 I hope it’s good! Thankfully I didn’t have to deal with any sticky lifters. But I did sell that car because I got tired of working on it.
Video was very helpful although I don’t have a camera!
Thanks! The camera is super helpful, but not necessary. I’ve done this change without one.
Great idea to use a camera!
Thanks. That thing has come in handy on many projects.
I have about 10 of these Trucks and Suburban's all SLT and SLE, Gas and Diesel and have never seen the extra covers over the engine valve covers is this a NORTH POLE addition... Thanks from ALBERTA :)
Haha! Thanks. No idea on the backstory of this one, I assume it came stock like that. Turns out, those fancy covers are a pain in the rear because they are always in the way.
@@BadHombreGarage It looks like they are on Denali that would be a higher model than a SLT... I guess if you got lots of Money you don't need to know where the Engine is :)
Same problem here. good video on how to Thanks! the music??
Right on! Thanks. Music is the crappy stock music that comes with the GoPro editor.
Thanks very much, for your insight!
I’m glad you found it useful!
@@BadHombreGarage : yes, sadly, I wish I watched it BEFORE I got underway...I have THREE sets of sockets, but two stopped at 1", third was Metric. So...reassemble pickup enough to run and buy a 1 1/16 socket (actually a specific "Oil Pressure Sensor socket ") as well as the fuel line coupling release tool.
Armed with those, I was about as quick as you were! Thanks again!
@@unknownporker nice!
Same, 2001 Tahoe, thx :)
Right on, I hope this is helpful.
Thanks!
Hey, thank you!!
Dude your engine looks like mine. We need some cleaning to do.
Haha! Yes we do.
Hey there! Great video! It really helped me a lot! My trouble however is that I have changed out this pressure switch and I’m still having the same trouble with oil pressure are there any other recommendations for what’s going on with this thing? I have a 2006 Yukon Denali XL 6.0 vortec.
I’m glad you found the video helpful! There are other things that could be going on, perhaps the engine is having issue and the gauge with the new pressure sensor are actually reading correctly. I’d believe that more of the pressure was reading low rather than full scale high or zero. What indications are you seeing?
Check out videos about the “Pick Up Tube/Oil Pump O-Ring” inside the oil pan. I’m gonna do both, the pressure sensor & the o-ring.
Should pretty much tackle the issue from both ends 👍🏼
Yes, and check out another video I made where I change the infamous o-ring:

@@BadHombreGarage
There you go! 👍🏼
music comes blasting on way louder than your voice, could really do without it, thanks for the video
Yeah, I know I messed this one up. This was the very first RUclips video I made; go check out more of the channel- I think I got better at editing. Thanks for watching.
What would I think of what you did? Well compare to several other guys I saw before you, you are a lot more smart. They removed the manifold inlet and what not, just to get there with direct vision and lots of space to turn the ranch! But you little endoscopic camera looks absolutely great as and additional flexible, snaky eye! to guide. I have seen another person doing this without the camera but I like it a lot better when you can see and know what is happening.
BTW in non of the clips I saw, including those who removed half of engine (Guess real professional mechanics on hourly pay!!!) had that strainer in the line. So I assume that belongs to other cars and not GMC trucks.
I hope I can do mine in twice the time you spent but successfully soon. For now I am controlling my annoyance, once that crazy chime sound goes off, as the oil pressure temporarily drops to zero and then back up! Wish me luck.
Oh forgotten. You have a new subscriber and four thumbs up!
Thank you!! I'm glad it was helpful to you.
I think GM started adding the screens in 2007... I've been told to take the screens out and don't replace it. Leave it blank. Apparently they clog up very easy so people think their sensor is bad when it's really a clogged screen. Just what I've been told. I refuse to change oil sensors. I let someone else do it since I don't have near enough patience for it.
Good call, I didn’t use the screen and haven’t had any issues.
Great video! I looked last night on my 2003 Yukon 6.0 and i can't find the darn oil sender. do you still recommend that camera? I have an old one that hooks to my laptop with usb but, the picture is garbage on it and it didn't help. Your camera images seemed to look pretty good? Easy to hook to an iPhone?
Thanks! It’s hard to see the sender, a guy can probably feel it easier. My camera is nice, and easy to connect to my iPhone. It has an app you download, then it hooks up wirelessly, and painlessly.
Thanks for showing the 6.0! So, do these models not have the screen under the sending unit?
Glad this is helpful! No, I believe these do not have the screen.
This right here! Whew! My hang up as well, got in there on my 6.0 and :-/ so after looking around a bit, we should be good😂
Just did this on my moms Yukon. Same issue after install. Back to the drawing board
That’s unfortunate, I’m sorry. Is the oil pressure reading high or low? If it’s low it may be something more serious.
@@BadHombreGarage Its low. I am thinking pick up tube or pump
@@mikep2974 it could be. I made another video where I replaced the o-ring on the oil pump pickup tube and that fixed a low pressure problem I had later with the Yukon.
Thank you
I’m glad you found it useful!
ricky greenman is
hey next time tell the people the size of the socket. it's the small things that help people and as for the screen use a dental pic to retrieve it, I have a hard time believing there was no screen I thought the same thing the first time I did this job on a trail blazer with a 5.3. Otherwise good job
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching.
This issue has me going crazy. Replaced the oil pressure sensor twice already. Had all oil leaks fixed with replacement seals. Check engine light still comes on after a few days of driving. Psi fluctuates at idle around 18-22 pounds. What would you recommend after replacing the sending unit twice and sealing all leaks?
Might be the dreaded o-ring problem…

I have a 2005 Yukon XL Denali 6.0 vortec engine. Have had trouble for years with my oil pressure sensor. Just sat at 80 for over a decade. Had to replace my transmission so while the Yukon was at the shop I had them replace the sensor. When I picked up the vehicle the oil pressure alarm went off when I started the car. They put in the old one and the alarm went off. 3 years later I had the cluster rebuilt and thought that would fix the problem. Still stuck at 80. So I just replaced the old sensor with a new one. Instant alarm again. My mechanic is stumped. Had to put the old one back in. Why is this happening? I obviously have oil being pumped in my engine.
Hmmm... I've been thinking about this one for a few days. Perhaps the only true way to tell what oil pressure your engine is making is to use a different pressure sensor and attach it at the plug near the oil pump at the front of the engine. If you look on RUclips for Richard Holdener's videos (ruclips.net/video/KjAUj5kfPSs/видео.html), he shows the external gauge. That will just confirm what pressure you are making on an analog gauge, but of course you know your engine makes good oil pressure because it has been working for years. I'm going to have to keep thinking about this one...
I got a screen with my sensor. but the wider part of the screen wouldn’t fall into the hole so i couldn’t even put one in. Turns out i bought the wrong sensor because it wasnt screwing in right and the sensor i bought was smaller than the one i pulled out. Just like how your old sensor is smaller than your new one. They showed me the other sensor they had for the “6.0” and it matched the old one and fit but didn’t come with a screen. I told them im pretty sure i dont have the 6.0 but the sensor fit lol
That’s interesting, makes me realize there might be different sensors for the 6.0. Thanks, I didn’t know that.
Did it on my 08 Silverado no screen either.. didn't have to pull the fuel line also. 20 minutes..
Nice work! I think the screen didn’t come in until later.
It's just me but I would have tried to put that screen in there
I think it would be more trouble than it’s worth. I don’t think they came with a screen until 2007.
I'm curious to know how are you able to look right at your sensor when you moved the fuel line, I just took mine off and can't see jack
I think it’s still hard to see, unless you have a little camera like the one I used in the video.
My trucks having no oil pressure when I first start it. But if I rev it up a few times it goes up to normal pressure. Does this sound like the sensor?
It sounds to me like it could be a sensor problem.
My boyfriend just did this on his 03 and it worked fine that day. then we went out the next morning and it was back to 80. We're not sure why.. do any of you have a suggestion on what to do now?
Hmm… that is bizarre. I don’t really know- maybe someone will chime in with another idea here in the comments??
i assume this will be very similar to a 6.0L Escalade engine?
norman MATHEWS should be exactly the same if I’m not mistaken.
What is the link for the camera? Also the space in the back of my engine seems way tighter 😕 Wish me luck!!
Antoinette Gonzales good luck! The link is in the description of the video above. Or, you can search amazon .
Wife!😙
Was that a special thin-walled socket? Just wondering if you might have a link for that one?
Love the video it is awesome!

This is just like the one I used. Hope this helps!
@@BadHombreGarage thank you so very much! I have a regular inch and 16th deep well socket and it does fit over it it's just that there's something in the way and slips off easy... I can't actually see back there to see what's going on so I may have to buy that endoscope as well... of course I can use the endoscope for hundreds of different things I've been needing to do. Like that dreaded very top bolt on the bellhousing of the transmission you can never see! :)
Thanks again for an awesome video!
@@thereddragonslair9548 that’s a good idea!
Good instructuctional video. The worst part was adding the annoying noise overlay. Do RUclips a favor and re-edit and re-upload taking out the noise. It doesn't belong in a video like this. Maybe if you're skiing down a black diamond, but it just ruins the video.
Thanks for the great feedback! I really appreciate it. This was the first youtube video that I did, and yeah it needs improvement. I'll try to edit it and see if I can make it easier to watch. Thanks for commenting and watching.
Hi where did u get the blue clip at if you dont mind me asking?
I believe I found it at O’Rielly Auto.
Can you still drive your suv with the oil pressure at 80psi.
I guess you could, but my guess is that the gauge isn’t reading correctly.
Will the engine run rough prior to the fix?
Prior to this fox my engine ran just as smooth and as normal as ever, it just had low oil pressure.
I believe the screen only comes in models 07 and up
I agree.
Will that being bad recording no oil pressure. Cause the vehicle to go into limp mode
I don’t think it goes to limp mode, just the chirp and in-dash warning.
So my mechanic at my work that does all the service work on our fleet vehicles. He found out that on a 2005 Escalade with the 6 l the oil pressure sensor is tied into the fuel pump and when it reads no oil pressure and it trips to computer and shuts the fuel pump off. And you don't get a check engine light code. He figured that out today when he fixed mine
@@bradleycramer612 thanks for the info!
You're welcome thank you for the video that's what helped me find out what the hell was wrong with mine
Did your truck make a sound like a flutter noise?
No, besides the indication it all seemed normal.
Did you end up putting a screen?
Nope, I never did. Other viewers commented that before 2007 they didn’t have a screen.
@@BadHombreGarage ok thank you very much.
Very helpful video. But the volume difference between the talking and the music was incredibly annoying.
I had to turn the volume up to max and press the earbuds into my ear to hear him talking.... Then when the music starts it's loud enough to cause discomfort which prompted me to rip my headphones off. After the third switch I had to just take my headphones off and watch it a couple times without listening to it to get as much information as I could that way
Thank you for the great feedback, I appreciate it. This was the very first RUclips video I ever made for my channel, so I wasn't really on top of my editing game. I wish there was a way I could change it because you are right- it is annoying. Check out some of my other videos, I did get a little better along the way... though there are still plenty of mistakes and areas for improvement. Thanks for watching!
I'll definitely check out more. Lol I feel kinda bad for being so critical now but I guess it's now my turn for a learning experience.
Merry Christmas btw and hope you have a great weekend
@@calebbearup4282 I love the feedback and take it wherever I can get it. Merry Christmas to you too!
TURN BLUETOOTH ON TO HEAR
thanks.
You do not need to disconnect fuel line....
You are correct!
Part Number Please. AutoZone got mine wrong
I believe I used the Dorman part 926040, but this was a couple of years ago so I may be incorrect.
Music is so annoying I couldn't finish the video
Hey, sorry about that. This was my very first RUclips video, so I was pretty bad at editing sound. I think I’ve gotten better- check out more of the channel and let me know!
Needs the screen, or you will be replacing again soon.
Thanks for the input! Do you know if they all came with the screen? I’ve found conflicting information out there about this came with a screen or not.
@@BadHombreGarage getting ready to do my 04 hummer. So really don’t know if mine has it or not. Yeah a lot of conflicting info out there. Mechanic friend says it should and sometimes can be cleaned. I was assuming since yours had previously been changed without the screen, that’s why you are doing it again.
@@michaelmontgomery7069 you’re probably right!
They didn't start installing screens until 2007
@@chriswalters2135 that’s good info!
Thanks!
