I am trying to find the unit so that I can replace it. I hear that they fail aroud 90 to 120 thousand miles. My Eplorer is showing no oil pressure inside the vehicle on the instrumentation, however, I am sure that oil is flowing thru the engine. I just need to find the unit that needs replacement. I have the new one ($8). I have been told that they are by the oil filter. It does not appear to be there. Someone else said the other side of the engine (drivers side). I don't seem to see it there either. The engine compartment is cramped and very hard to see around everything. I have a 4.0 pushrod V-6 (not the SOHC engine). If someone has changed this before, please describe where it is and approximately how many inches in each direction to locate it if possible. I have felt around all over the lower part of the engine, but do not find it. I know that I should be able to find the wire going to it, but I'm not having any luck. Anyone who can help, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

What is their quality level? I just read in one of my motorcycle magazines that they are a good bike, but they are heavier than Japanese bikes and don't have enough price difference to make them a better buy than the big name brands. If anyone owns one, please tell me what model and your overall experience with it so far. I have a chance to pick one up for a pretty good price from a friend who laid one down and scratched it up pretty good. Any sincere input would really be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
