Oil pressure sensor HELP!!!! - SOLVED

[Spencer4991]

Does this look to have a filter in it??? I have fished a hook in but can’t seem to grab anything and the new filter(not putting it in) doesn’t fit all the way down…. 2010 Chevy suburban

Thanks for all the input!!!

were you able to get one out? I can't tell in that pic at all

 

[Fless]

I can't tell if there's a screen in there or not. Some people take a long deck screw or the like and stick it down there, turn it clockwise by hand and pull them out. YMMV

I wasn’t able to get anything out….ill try a deck screw tomorrow, I’m dropping the pan anyways to change out the pick up tube gasket. I’m trying to cross everything off before replacing the pump.

Looks like a larger screw might work better. 5/16" lag maybe...

Not all of these motors had filter screens. @Doubeleive may be able to clarify which ones did not have a filter screen.

2010 should have one and it looks like there might be one in there but not 100% sure. A pick tool should get it out

I'm thinking that most likely looks like one. Should lift right out with like an o-ring pick tool

I'm still shocked some of you can change it with the manifold still in place.......

It's usually not too hard. Just a few scratches and doing it by feel it can be done in about 20 minutes.

Is this a 2500 or 1500 Suburban?

The 2500 won't have one.

The valley cover looks like an LS2 cover. Is that a 6.0?
When I did the DOD delete I noticed the LS2 cover is shorter and thinner so a screen wont fit in there. The VLOM is thicker and taller to give the screen space

All right, few days later update there wasn’t a filter in there put a new oil pressure sensor in went and got some engine. Flush ran that through the engine. Did an oil change still low pressure finally listen to what everybody has been saying about the O-ring on the pick up tube inside the pan and went ahead and changed it l…. That was exactly the problem now I’m getting 19-25 idle psi and 40-55psi driving
