This on my '12 5.3. Grease gun hose and assorted fittings from e bay.

I don't know how you did this, but it's amazing. I've replaced that thing on my '10 Avalanche 3 times. I come out beat up and bruised every time from having to lay on top of the engine to get to that damn thing.

Does it work correctly? If it does--NICE.

they sell relocation kits too.

probably cost more than diy thou.

You could install an analog gauge in-line, to verify pressure once that sender unit fritzes-out.

Can you post a parts list for us?

Looks good. Is the hose rated for the high temperature of the oil?


Once when I was trying to diagnose low oil pressure on my 4.3 Silverado, I hooked up a pressure gauge, which concluded that I did have oil pressure. I don't remember what happened but I shut the hood and forgot about (probably got distracted?) I drove with the gauge in the engine bay for a good 2 weeks, in the summer heat. I'm glad the hose didn't burst because of the hot oil. That would have been really bad.
