2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission oilpressure sensor

[GW01]

i needed to replace the oil pressure sensor on my 99 24valve so i purchased one at the cummins dealer. when igot home i found that the connections were different. also the paperwork indicated a need to recalibration of the ecm. also the instructions show a single wire that must be connected to the deutsch oem connector. im lost. i thought changing a sensor would be simple but not so. has anyone had this problem. thanks

What is the part number?



Unless it is superseeded, the # should be- 3408428 (Cummins)



Got it from http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/Facts/98ISBspecs.html



I know some of the #'s have changed from what is listed on the site, so FWIW.



As far as the reflash, do a search here on the TDR. Not sure it really needs to be done.

the part # for the pressure switch is 4076930

Replaced mine about a year ago. Cummins told me there were two sensors available. One had to have the ECM flashed and a new wiring harness. The other was the standard for the '99. After a 45 minute chat with the service manager and two parts guys, I got the standard, but I'll be darned if I can remember the number.

you got the wrong part, let me guess, it is an aluminum colored base, with a black connector? Only hase one pin on the plug as well? I had to replace mine last spring. I got this part originally, it was wrong, I then pulled the existing one out and brought that to cummins, they ran a cross referance on the number on that OEM plug and got me the right part, it should have a brass/copper base with a white/tan colored plug on it.

i checked your profile and saw the picture of you holding up the dodge and i figured if you were that strong you could change a flat with no problem. thanks again,i just got off the phone with cummins and i will have the part tomorrow. later

I'm not sure where you guys are calling? I tried to navigate the Cummins web site and came up with a list of local truck shops. I called one and gave them the 4088390NX part number and they told me its not available. He said the new number is 4921511 which I don't see referenced anywhere on this site. Can anyone give me a tip on who to call in the Boston area to get a sending unit for my 2000 model?
