5.3 gm oil pressure sending unit

[alexrex20]

For the average Joe, changing out the gauge cluster will just result in cracked plastic, missing clips, and potentially a worse-off cluster than when he started. I don't put much faith in those oil psi gauges anyway. Not all vehicles have them, but they do have a low oil psi warning light. The gauge is useless as far as I'm concerned. It's just something else to malfunction. If his Avalanche didn't have it, the OP wouldn't have this "problem."

My advice is to just ignore it.

M.Sage,
Please go ahead and lock this thread. I've poked around under the hood all I'm going to and honestly don't wish to further the "discussion" between you and Shortround.
I'll go visit Mr. Goodwrench at my earliest convenience.
Thanks to all for your help, the failure is on me.

Sorry, I just didn't want to see you kill your engine by pouring a can of engine flush in it.
