Thanks for the info. I'm wondering if I can put the factory sensor in that capped off plug in the block; I've eliminated the factory oil cooler therefore I no longer have the factory spot for that oil pressure sender. I've installed the ZZP oil cooler plate which gives me 2 -10AN fittings, and I can get a -10AN adapter that gives me a 1/8" NPT port for something like an oil pressure gauge, but I think the factory oil pressure sender is M12x1.75 so may have to find an adapter to put the sender in that spot. However, I'd like to put an actual oil pressure sensor in that spot with an electronic gauge in the cab, so we'll see. I don't have to figure all this out today.The LSJ block has a spot for an oil pressure sensor here. Some sensors can do pressure and temp in the same sensor.
Thanks! P code, that can be easily suppressed. Not sure if an oil pressure light can be suppressed though. What I'm gathering is I should make an effort to keep this oil pressure sender and relocate it somewhere where it will work as expected.I just checked and the later models do have the oil pressure switch reporting through the ecm and can trigger a P code. The manual doesn’t indicate that the fuel pump is cut. I will turn on the oil pressure light. The way I read the manual, I think it will trigger the light and code even you ground the switch, but it isn’t completely clear. It seems to check the status of the switch both key on/engine off and key on/engine on. I made a manifold to connect both the switch and a pressure gauge to when I built mine.
Would you happen to have access to info about the sensor located at the bottom of the overflow/expansion tank? I want to replace the tank with something nicer and larger, but not sure if I should worry about that sensor or if it can be removed all together.
