can anyone tell me what size socket fits the oil pressure sending unit
on a 94 dakota 3.9? we are guessing it is a 26mm deep, but no one has
one to try. i hate to buy the wrong size. thanks,
i can't tell if the old one is the same as the new one, or i would
buy one to fit the new.
we tried a 1" (too small) and 1 1/6 (too big) on the one in there.
is there a special socket needed?

i should say we tried a 1 1/16 12 point socket.
i see a size 1 1/16 socket listed as a sending unit socket.
will a 1 1/16 six point socket work?

take the new unit and buy what fits it , a cresentwrench caliper reading
will give you the an accuate enough size reading from the old unit to the new.

There is a special socket for these.  You need the particular socket for
it, it's not a standard 6, 8 or 12 point.  If you can get to it with an open
end wrench (that's never happened to me with the engine in the vehicle) one
of the larger wrenches will work, can't recall the size off hand.

On my 360 the sender is tall. I had to find a very deep 1 1/16 socket with a
thin wall. Started looking around here and found a metric socket that fit
it. KD # 3458 looks like it would work.

i think i will just take the egr valve off and slip an adjustable loop
wrench around it, if i can't find a socket to fit. if a 26mm deep fits
i will buy it, because i will need a 26mm some day. i never thought i
would need a 22mm or 21mm and i ended up buying them.

Was in Auto Zone today. They have a 1 1/16" socket that looks like it will
work for $7.00. It's 1/2" drive.
