The oil pressure gauge on my 08 Yukon has been pinned at 80 for the past few weeks so I finally decided to change out the sensor a few days ago. I had a spare sensor for my 10 Suburan sitting in the shed so I figured I was go to go. I tried to remove the sensor with the manifold in place and combination of swivels and extensions but with my big hands I couldn't pull it off. I even jacked up the rear of the transmission for some extra space.Nothing causes me more stress and anxiety that trying to work blind in a tight spot while slicing up my hands so I decided to spend the extra 45 minutes and pull the manifold. All's good until I went to install the sensor I had on hand and it had a different connector then the original. Lucky enough Advance Auto had an AC Delco in stock for $90. Part# 12677836. The part # for the one that fits my Suburban which has a flex engine is 12673134. I was definitely surprised they where different. So I got everything back together and all's good now. What I really wanted to share is that Advance Auto gives you a 2yr replacement on the sensor if it goes bad which is good insurance with the way these sensor seem to fail. Happy New Year everyone!
