So I'm trying to get the dash gauge to work again and i need a new sending unit, but holy crap...60 bucks?!
Does anyone know if a more modern sensor will work instead? I found some NOS Napa sensor units at an old junk yard with the same 3 prong configuration and 1/8 npt nipple, Napa part# OP6625 and OP6626.
Also, I have this issue
Loose wire is tan or light brown. Where is it supposed to go?
It goes into the same wire loom as the oil pressure switch and sending unit wires. I found a diagram and it shows a tan wire coming from the oil sensor, however neither plug has a broken or missing wire.
Sure thing. Also, you may want to check out a profile deathphoenix99 . He has wiring diagram link in his signature that has a TON of stuff on it. Hard comprehending that Rock Auto is that high. They are usually the lowest.
So I found the oil pressure sender that came out of this truck (it was in the bed with along with other junk, lol ) and bench tested it. The ohmmeter moved when I applied air pressure to the oil orifice so I reinstalled it. The gauge doesn't peg out at 80psi anymore but it twitched above zero for a second.
So I'm thinking this lose tan wire is the problem.
Jimmykicker, did you get a chance to look at yours?
I tried grounding it to the body, as I had it touching ground when the gauge twitched, however with a good ground connection the gauge still doesn't work. The wiring diagrams say a tan wire goes to the instrument cluster (pin 2) but I still can't find the other end of this wire.
I have a mechanical gauge installed under the hood, so I know I've got good oil pressure.
Hey guys I am soon going to be going to a junkyard around town and would like to have a list of all the cars or trucks that have a transmission in them that will fit the 2.8 s10 blazer 4x2. Also will the transmissions out of the V6 camaro 3.4 work on the blazer? I have a 1986 2.8 Blazer 4x2...
Can someone help me I have a 89s10 and my transmission went out... it's a 700r4 automatic, I found another 700r4 out of a 95 s10 when I had both of them out I compared them and the new one has some kind of electric shift and I think overdrive were as my old one doesnt... can I still make it work...
Whats up everyone,
Im having an overheating problem. This is the second time this has happened so I'm starting from the beginning again but have some questions.
My 83 2.8 v6 started overheating a few days ago. So far i changed the radiator cap and the thermostat and it still overheats. Ive...
Hi all, first post.
I have a 1984 S10 Durango that I picked up for a song. Carbureted 2.8l 5spd. I love it. However, I don't trust the engine and trans.
I found a 1993 S10 with lower km that I also got on the cheap. The body and box are rotted out, but I believe the driveline is solid.
I...
It died on me today, coasting up to a stop sign. Oil pressure, temp, volts, fuel all looked good. It cranks but doesn’t fire. I can see fuel squirting into the bowl so the fuel is getting that far at least.
I’ve been needing to tune it up for a while now. It’s been cranky on cold starts. So...
