Replacing oil pressure sending unit
Assuming my oil pressure sending unit needs to be replaced in my '99 2wd v-6, any idea how much this repair will cost? I know the part is cheap, but I have absolutely ZERO interest in trying to do this myself. Is labor going to be outrageous?
And is the sender the same as the sensor, or are they two different parts?
Thanks!

Fords hourly labor rate is anywhere from $75-$85 an hour.Its a one hour job.
Why dont you do it your self? All you have to do is turn your drivers side wheel or remove it,and go thru the wheel well to replace the sending unit.Use a sending unit socket (1-1/16") or a pair of channel lock pliers to remove/install it.Dont forget some Teflon tape.This way you can save all that money and have the satisfaction of doing it yourself!
