If you get a gauge with a line on it you should be fine, the line should be esier to get on than a sender. Otherwise you'd need go aftermarket gauges/senders etc.

 

ya that sender is a bitch to get off and on at least it is on my 5.0, the power steering accessory bracket is right there[:@]

I have had alot of people tell me its probably blown out main bearings[:@][:@]man I hope not I really don't want to have to get the engine rebuilt

Anyone else have this happen to them?

 

bump




anyone else ever experience this?

 

I have a similar problem I just picked up a new sensor from Napa and am going to see if that fixes it, and if it doesn't I guess I'm in the same boat as you.

 

old thread

 

let me know how it goes for you, hopefully the sending unit is your problem

 

hopefully you have better luck than me mine was the bearings. mine actually was bad enough that i had gold in my oil from the bearings. good luck

 

Ya the more reaserch I do, the more I think that is the problem[:@]


Damn I just got my car running half decent and now I need a new engine[:@][:@]

I am going to try changing the oil this weekend and adding some of that lucas oil addative to see if it will help....at least for a little while[8D]
