Help! Oil pressure sender location???

[Dieselnerd]

My oil pressure gauge started to get a little jumpy. Moves up and down 5 or 6 pounds while running at a steady speed so I went out and bought a new sender. The problem is I can't find the darn thing on the motor. Where is it located? Service manual is no help at all. Thanks for your help.

Ron,



In my '95 manual it shows it on General Diagnosis - Diesel Engine Pg 14-99. It's right below the place the throttle return spring hooks to the engine block right being the power steering pump. I looked and, sure enuff, there's something there with two wires sticking out of it. That's the spring from the throttle lever on the back of the injector pump.

Thanks Joe, I found it! I just didn't see it tucked in there even with the new one in my hand.
