Okay getting close to wanting to throw fuel in my tank and see if my engine even runs, but I want to make I didn't miss (or screw up) anything. So It's been 8 yrs since it's run some my memory it a little foggy, anyway when I turn key to on Oil pressure gauge goes up to 40psi, Tap starter it goes back down, this correct? Obviously I don't know what it will when actually started, Sure I'll have oil pressure just don't want to backtrack any on any wiring.

    Can’t help you they’re but get videos of startup and Post em up!

  • Mine does not. But I have the single wire switch and not the sensor. I have heard of that going to 40 at key on mentioned here recently by someone.

    My oil pressure gauge doesn’t go up with key on either, but maybe some are wired different . Thier is acually a slight delay on start up which I believe is normal for these trucks. I would hook u

Nope it did not.  Bummer!!  Back to the wires.   I saw the gauge twitch once.  So I'm thinking sensor wire now.  Back to the drawing board.

Make sure you have continuity between plug and ECM, Power is pin 11 , Ground pin 10, and sensor pin 8

Yes I have 4.98 volts at the plug so the sensor wire is next on the list.  The only good news is it is 12 inches from the ECM Plug.  Still have to pull the harness to get too it.

Yep, it took me awhile to figure out what I needed to check to make sure I didn't have an intermittent open in the circuit, I removed the ECM plug and made sure I had good continuity while flexing wires between sensor plug and ECM pin holes.

With both disconnected yet. Red probe to a sensor pin (one of the 3) then the black to ground to double check for shorts to ground. It should show OPEN circuit for all three. If any wire shows resistance to ground then you got a short on your hands. The test requires both ends disconnected.
