That would be the back half of a broken oil pressure sensor. Should see whats left of the nut side of it screwed in just above the oil filter.

That would be the problem. Likely broken during and oil change.

Fram is orange with bedliner on the outside.

Right, i was being sarcastic. I would sooner use a fram product as a hockey puck than use it on any of my vehicles.

For this off google. It goes something like this. Supposed to be parallel with the filter though. This guy moved his.

ok so it comes off of the housing for the oil filter, thanks. Somebody knew they phucked up and put a brass fitting with a bleeder there. Idiots.

Well, at least they did not let it leak all over the place, so they're cheap, and probably idiots, but at least they're clean.

Right, but why a bleeder? Why not just a bolt as a plug. Could have put the 5$ for the bleeder toward the $23 sensor..... ?
I got it all fixed up, good pressure too, the rig has 325,000 miles. I like to know some stuff about engine vitals....

rockclimber, you are the fool for being a Fram fan. :twak: Fram is garbage.

A bolt wouldn't seal well - those are 1/8"-27 NPT threads.
You are being dumb. Again.
I run Fram filters because I still have a few left and my 4.0s are sick enough that most of them are either coming out and going into storage as rebuildable blocks/emergency spares, or coming out and getting bearing-slapped and built into generators. Once I run out, no more Frams. They're not built as well and the amount you save per year by running em isn't enough to justify it.

There are a lot of filters out there and the Frams are as decent as any.
Being a brand whore is foolish. Especially when there are no facts to back you up.

I'm not the one whoring for Fram here. :conceited
I don't know why I'm even bothering with this, I really don't give all that much of a damn either way. I will take a new Fram over an old used filter from another brand, but given the choice I'll run something else if I have to buy one, basically. Have fun being the only person here who actually likes Fram though.

Judging from the can color and the sticker that is a Purolator PureOne.
