Well the last time someone had a drop in oil pressure and it had a tick. A lifter caused it when it collapsed and shot needle bearings out, which lead to the oil pump failing. this could be the same issue. also it could be the oil pump failing and causing the lifter to starve for oil which would make them tick. Also, don't drive it because you wont be able to shut it down quick enough if the pressure falls to 0.
**** guys. This isn't what I wanted to hear. I guess I will park it until saturday, when I can see if its the sending unit or not. Thanks and I will keep yall informed.

Did you watch the video? Does that look like something it would do if the oil pump is failing?

GM's perfect spot for an oil sending unit

+1 on the oil pump possible cause, any pinging or knocking noise from the engine is not good, could be the lifters bleeding down due to low oil pressure, I would seriusly stop driving it to prevent further damage, and if did get damaged, make it an excuse to do a stroker kit....

Use my 04 2500 chevy to pull my rig around and drive the fam in our 07 NNBS yukon, Die Hard Chevy Fan Till The Death.
What if you have an external oil cooler like my 4.3 Blazer and my Denali? The Blazer has that sucky old type engine but the GMC has cooler lines hooked up there.
yup looks the same to me.
Exactly.
Exactly.

Daniel, when we first talked--what did I say? Your oil pump IS going out. It's like when you are starting to get sick...you first start coughing a little...then it gets worse...until you get sick completely. But if I was talking about when Virgil gets sick, I would say its like him getting a big red sore on his lips...and then relate it how it looks JUST LIKE the one Alan has...
ANYWAY--These are BLATANT signs the the pump is going out. The more you drive it, the more risk you are running of ruining something.
