LS1 Oil Sender

Looking to see what LS1 users are using for the oil sender at the back of the engine to work with the stock oil pressure gauge
Thanks Rich

2001 silverado 1 wire oil pressure sensor with the correct pigtail works just fine.

I used an adapter fitting to use the factory Third Gen sending unit.

Re: LS1 Oil Sender

Rich, I think you began with a 2.8L V6? You'll get best results with your stock V6 oil pressure sender. Post #1932 will give you an idea what to expect if you try to use LS1 sender, https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/ltx-...ml#post6543207
