Oil Sensor Replacement CAT 3126B

Post by Safaritoonces »

Has anyone removed or replaced the oil sensor on the CAT 3126B? I checked with the other forum mentioned but no luck.

Do you have to remove the ECM and starter to get to the sensors or just the ECM or is there another way? There is zero access from the left (passenger side) bottom. The starter is there and the aircompressor/power steering pump. It appears the only way is from the top by removing the air ducting and then ECM plate but I would like to confirm this before starting.

Any advice is welcome. Thanks

Mel, thank you. That is exactly what I was looking for. Now to see if I can get to it. They put 5lbs of flour into a 4lb sack when they stuffed the engine into my coach.
