Where is the oil pressure regulator on a ford f350 diesel truck?

The location of the oil pressure regulator on a Ford F350 diesel truck depends heavily on the engine type and year. Ford F-350s have used several different diesel engines over the years (Power Stroke 7.3L, 6.0L, 6.4L, and 6.7L). The oil pressure regulation system itself also differs between these engines; some have a dedicated regulator, others incorporate it within the high-pressure oil pump.

There's no single answer. You need to specify the year and engine of your F-350 to get an accurate location.

To find the information you need:

1. Identify your engine: Look for an engine code (usually stamped on a metal tag on the engine itself). This will tell you the exact engine type (e.g., 6.7L Power Stroke).

2. Consult a repair manual: Once you know the engine, find a repair manual specific to your truck's year and engine. These manuals will have diagrams showing the location of all components, including the oil pressure regulator (if it's a separate part). Online resources like Chilton or Haynes offer manuals, or you might find one specific to your truck year and engine through a search.

3. Use an online parts diagram: Many online auto parts stores (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to select your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine, then view a parts diagram. This can sometimes show the regulator's location.

Without knowing the specific engine, any answer would be unreliable and potentially dangerous. Incorrectly identifying or working on the oil pressure system can lead to serious engine damage.
