Yep, stuck my mirror up there, after I finished wetting my panties and discovered just that. What a F'ing nightmare, not one day can I get a break. Part is on order, seems that there is a spate of these lately, at least according to my parts guy... He knows me by my voice on the phone... I should change my name to Norm... Or maybe Cliff? ;-)

If you're getting one, might as well get two. I have always packed a second oil pressure sensor. Electronic engines almost always have shut downs or derates for oil pressure, so never leave home unprepared. Back in my grain hauling days, I had one take a crap on me 4hrs from the city. That stupid little sending unit cost me a fortune that day...never again!
