replacing oil sending unit
I have done a lot of searches, but can not find one about changing the sending unit.
Is there a easier way to change the oil sending unit without having to remove the intake to get at it? Dealer wants $595 to do it.
Thanks

You can R&R the intake manifold and R&R the oil pressure sender with hand tools in under 2 hours. No trick parts or procedures, just simple unbolt and remove; then rebolt to install. Torque wrench for the intake bolts is the only expensive tool.
Shop manual is a help but not required, most of the work is evident just from looking at it.

If you have a 2005 Service Manual don't pay any attention to the part that says you have to drain the cooling system. There are no coolant passages thru the intake manifold. Somebody at Helms didn't do a fact check before they did the cut and paste.
