Feeling stupid now hahah. i didnt realize there was another nub on the DPFE sensor for another hose so that issues resolved.
Another question i had, In the remanned motor manual it says around 5 times to change your oil cooler in all caps and whatnot. It says it will contaminate my oil and cause more engine failures.
Looking in my FSM i see no oil cooler. underneath the truck i only see a small cooler for the trans i believe that fits infront of the a/c condensor and also a smaller cooler that looks like it goes to the powersteering pump by the look of the lines. My question is do i even have an oil cooler and if so, where? and is it an essential need to replace it?
adsm08 - i checked my fsm and by the look of it the oil pressure sensor is on the other side of the engine over by the lower rad hose attachment. it also seems like the nub that goes to the hvac system would be a perfect and about the only connection the wire could reach if the nub was still there.
Here is a picture of what i am talking about.

On another note. if i prime the oil pump is there a time limit on how long i have to start up the motor before the oil drains back down or something?
