Instead of buying that socket, take your camshaft position sensor out, and put a 27 mm wrench open end on that sensor and unscrew it

[@y5mgisi]

Definitely an option. But man is it nice to have that socket around. Have used it many times since I bought it and have been happy to have it every time.

[@sakolibarian6959]

Ma’am, this was very helpful. Can you do a video on an old RPM gauge or maybe you have made already but I cannot find it we just did an LS swap now I figured out the oil gauge now I gotta figure out the rpm gauge also and the temperature gauge gauge

Thanks Mitch! From : Mitch 🤙🏽😃

[@shadymaint1]

On my 02 Silverado the wiring diagram says the oil pressure sending unit wire goes strait to the gauge cluster.

[@y5mgisi]

That is correct.

[@shadowopsairman1583]

Fyi this is the 1999-2002 style

[@brandonarnold582]

F the special socket. Break it off.

came her to say this. especially if its not going to be reused

[@gainz_9126]

Wrong link for the adapter too small for the sensor

[@y5mgisi]

The link is for the one used in the video. It's for 1/8th npt sensors. If that's not what your sensor uses, it won't work. But most of the oil pressure sensors I have come across are 1/8th npt.

[@MOE13576]

Did you found the correct one ?

[@scottschaos4376]

Let me see if I'm understanding this. I have a 99 firebird that originally came with the v6. Are you saying that I can get the adapter and then use the oil pressure sensor that came out of the 99 firebird and use that on my 5.3 that I'm putting in it?

[@y5mgisi]

Correct. Although your 99 might use the same oil pressure gauge ohms as the 5.3 and might be able to use the 5.3 oil pressure sensor. I swapped a 90 chevy pick up with an 03 chevy 5.3 and was able to just use the 03 oil pressure sensor to feed the 93 gauge.

[@scottschaos4376]

@@y5mgisi the sensor on the 5.3 is a 3 wire connection. I believe the one on the 99 v6 is a two wire connection. I tried to use the 5.3 one, connecting two of the wires to where they pin into the PCM and using the 3rd wire to the gauge. It pegs the oil pressure to 100 and keeps it there.

[@y5mgisi]

@@scottschaos4376 the ecm doesn't need to know the oil pressure. So in that case, I'd use the adapter and run the 99 v6 oil pressure sensor.

[@scottschaos4376]

@@y5mgisi do you know where the wires connect? I’m assuming one obviously goes to the gauge. Where does the other go?

[@y5mgisi]

@@scottschaos4376 that I'm not sure of.

Where did you get the adapter?

[@y5mgisi]

It's the second link in the video description.

[@robertkrupa2552]

Hi, can i contact you via email? I'm looking for info on the wiring harness work that you do. Thanks!

[@MOE13576]

Link for the sensor ?

[@y5mgisi]

Depends on what application you are swapping. The sensor adapter link is in the video description.

[@MOE13576]

I have a 06 5.3 that I'm swapping into a 91 c1500. The sensor doesn't fit the adapter...it only fits with the adapter(up right/vertical) it previously it had on the 350..but it hits the fire wall. I need an a sensor like yours.(no second adapter needed)

[@y5mgisi]

@@MOE13576 you should be able to use a sensor from a 99-02 Silverado and your gauge should read properly and you wouldn't need the adapter.

[@MOE13576]

@@y5mgisi on thank you. I'll go to the auto parts later on. Although it looks the same(sensor). Do you know the difference between the long sensors(old style) and the newer shorter style, other than the plug connection ? Internals?

[@y5mgisi]

@@MOE13576 that I'm not sure of.

[@wacofives5094]

TELL HOW YOU WIRED IT OR YOUR VIDEO IS A WASTE OF TIME...!

[@y5mgisi]

Thread your vehicle's oil pressure sending unit into the adapter. Run the wire to your oil pressure gauge. That's it.

[@Ls_swap211]

I’ve been fighting this for a while now 96 s10s factory gauge using the tan wire from cluster to the single tan ls sensor won’t read accurately I recently done the adaptor like your video here but the gauge still reads about 20psi off There’s a certain resistance to make them accurate and I’ve not found it yet

[@y5mgisi]

@@Ls_swap211 for yours you should be able to use the factory ls sensor.

[@Ls_swap211]

@@y5mgisi they can but it’s not close to accurate
