Low Oil Pressure
I have been gettin a low reading on my oil pressure guage. The motor sounds good, so I have decided to change the oil pressure sending unit.
I must be blind, cause I cant find it anywhere on the motor.
Can someone tell me where it is located?
I am mechanically inclined, just not real familiar with this motor.
Truck is only driven on weekends.

Thanks!

pressure sender is on the front of the motor. see that tank on the front its on the passanger side of that tank. its the HPOP resivoir. the existing pressure gauge is just a switch turns on at 7 psi and thats all. i reccomend buying a real oil pressure gauge and you can get the adapters at a hydraulics shop to get it in the hpop resivoir. the sender is jic threads. there is a easy place to put a sender so you can see if the oil pump is good. on the oil filter assymbly theres a 1/8npt plug with a square head and there should be some red threadsealer on it. should be 20 hot ilde 50 wot. but this will not show you if your getting proper pressures at the top of the motor.
i can get some pics this afternoon. i cant find them right now

Thanks, BBJake!
I was jokin with my cousin, that it would be real simple if that was the one, while pointing at it.
I guess O'Rielly gave me the wrong switch. I was lookin for sumthin that matched what was in my hand.
A picture would be appreciated!

here it is on the left is the sender. on the right where the compression connector is i drilled and tapped the hpop res and put a gauge in there since then i have put a electric gauge in so theres a sender there now and i put an oring under it to seal it since the jic are strait thread.
