does anyone know what size deep well socket i need to remove this thing? i bought a oil switch socket from NT&E but it didnt fit. i tried looking around in the FSM but i couldnt find it. can i use just a standard deep well or do i need to order one specificaly for that sensor?

 

I found that the stock one was like 1 1/16, or some such, but, the same socket wouldn't work for the new one.......

 

is the new one a different type or just a different size?

 

Just a different size.... Or, it may just be the one on the truck was factory, and the new one is aftermarket.

 

There is a special 1 1/16 socket for the sending unit. But 9 times out of 10, a deep 1 1/16 socket will work.
