Oil PSI sensor socket Oil PSI sensor socket
- about any national parts chain should have one of these on the shelf, or within a 2 hour window if not in stock.

The mfr. part # 25254 should be easily crossed over to any house brand tools they may be stocking - OEM tools is a well known brand in the auto tech world.

Lisle Tools # 13250 is another good option.

I have a 2014 GMC Yukon with 6.2 liter engine, did this last year to fix mine, it worked.

I used a 27mm deep socket (6-point).

My tip is to tie twine around new sender in case it's dropped while trying to thread it in, then pull twine to break it.

If the switch is actually 1-13/16” then it’s not the typical switch for these engines as the hex is 1-3/16” wide from the factory.

Usually the switch can be removed with a pair of channel locks or vice grips. On some occasions I’ve had to remove the fan and/or shroud to get some swing room.

Also is the circuit for the fuel pump currently bypassed at the switch? If not I was gonna suggest bypassing it just to see if the fuse still blows - if so there’s a wiring problem.

I definitely do NOT believe that sensor is 1-13/16". I used a 27mm 6-sided deep socket on our 2014 Yukon, positively.
