Hey y’all, it’s your boy Matthew here. So, let me tell you a little story ’bout the time I had to replace the oil pressure sensor on my 2005 Chevy Silverado.<\/p>\n
It was a hot summer day and I had just finished up a long day of work. I decided to take my truck out for a spin to clear my head. Everything was going great, the windows were down, the music was blasting and the wind was blowing through my hair (or what’s left of it).<\/p>\n
I was cruising down the highway, feeling like a king of the road, when all of a sudden, my truck starts making this loud, annoying noise.<\/p>\n
I pull over to the side of the road, pop the hood and low and behold, my oil pressure<\/a> sensor had gone kaput.<\/p>\n I had no idea where that little bugger was located. I mean, I had worked on cars before, but this was my first time working on a Chevy Silverado<\/a>.<\/p>\n I remembered my buddy, Joe, telling me once that Chevy Silverados have the oil pressure sensor<\/a> located on the back of the engine, near the oil filter.<\/p>\n So, I crawled under my truck and sure enough, there it was. I was able to replace it in no time and was back on the road in no time, feeling like a real mechanic.<\/p>\n So, if you ever find yourself in the same predicament as me, don’t panic, the oil pressure sensor on a 2005 Chevy<\/a> Silverado is located on the back of the engine, near the oil filter. It’s a pretty simple job, even for a novice like myself.<\/p>\n Here’s what you’re gonna need to replace that pesky oil pressure<\/a> sensor:<\/p>\n First thing’s first, you’re gonna wanna make sure your truck is parked on level ground and the engine is cool to the touch. Safety first, y’all!<\/p>\n Next, you’re gonna wanna locate the oil filter. It’s usually located on the back of the engine, near the firewall.<\/p>\n Once you’ve found it, use your socket wrench to remove the oil filter. Make sure you have your oil drain pan handy, ’cause oil is gonna come pouring out.<\/p>\nGetting the Job Done<\/h2>\n
