Where is oil sending unit located dodge 5.9 engine?

The oil sending unit on a Dodge 5.9L engine (the common Cummins diesel, or the Magnum gas V8) is located in the oil pan. However, it's not always in the same exact spot on all 5.9L engines across different years and models. It's typically on the side of the oil pan, often near the driver's side.

To be certain, you'll need to:

* Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This will show the exact location for your specific year and model.

* Look at a diagram: Online parts diagrams for your specific year and model (using the VIN is helpful) will usually depict the location of the oil sending unit.

* Visually inspect your oil pan: Once you're underneath the vehicle, you'll likely spot a sensor or unit that looks like it fits the description of an oil sending unit. It will have wiring connected to it. Be cautious when working under a vehicle and ensure the engine is cool.

Remember to be careful when working under your vehicle. Use jack stands and follow safety procedures.
