Where is the oil sending unit on a 1997 Ford F150 6.2 liter engine?

The 1997 Ford F-150 with the 6.2L engine (a relatively rare engine in that year, typically it was the 4.9L or 5.4L) will have the oil pressure sending unit located on the driver's side (left) of the engine block. It's typically near the oil filter, but not directly on it. It's a smaller sensor with one or two wires connected to it.

However, precise location can vary slightly depending on specific engine configuration. It's best to:

1. Consult a repair manual specific to your 1997 Ford F-150 with the 6.2L engine: This will give you the most accurate diagram and instructions.

2. Visually inspect your engine: Once you're sure your engine is cool, carefully look around the oil filter area on the driver's side. Look for a small, threaded sensor with wiring.

Without a picture of your specific engine bay, this is the best general guidance possible. Remember to disconnect the negative battery terminal before working near electrical components.
