Can anyone that has replaced the screen under the oil pressure sensor give me an idea how deep it sat below the threads? I bought a neglected 07 Denali with 188k and a dead oil gauge. I replaced the sensor but I’m convinced there wasn’t a screen there to begin with. I tried taking a pic but there just wasn’t enough room to get my phone directly over the hole. At the end I did not take a screen out or did I put the new one in bc I didn’t want to jam the first one down further. I now have a dash reading which is good, but now knowing what the pressures are has me wondering. Is there still a partially clogged screen in there or do I have an oil pump pickup o ring problem. Gauge pic is cold startup idle 80 degree ambient temp. 0061576aea25fe44c99892674f94a5dc.jpg05de610d185e4c7e78ed54171242dc0f.jpg

So your gauge, oil pressure! Was dead? Not moving fir nothin. Right? You did the screen and it started to work? I'm having the same issue. Today it moved, I looked down and it was at 80 and then dropped back to dead. Did you do a sensor change too?

My question revolves around the depth of the screen under the sensor. I replaced the sensor and now my gauge does not read 0 all the time.

My 07 Denali had a screen, and when removed it was a little twisted from the sensor pushing down on it. So if I had to guess you didn't have one. Also I used a small 90 degree pick to remove it.

Actually I dont think you need it, since you don't have afm

I was also using a 90 degree pick and running it slowly down the side and never encountered any resistance that I could tell. I’ll nurse my bruised forearm from switching the sensor out and leave it as is. Thanks everyone.
