I am stumped pls help
I keep having an oil pressure issue when my oil gets up to temp while driving and it runs perfect while I'm pushing the gas but when I get off the gas to stop the oil pressure gauge freaks out and the truck shuts off, I have no idea what to do I have replaced both oil pumps so I have not a clue on why I'd have bad oil pressure

Seems to me either your pick up tube is either cracked, has loose bolts or a bad seal. Also if your timing cover has deep grooves it time to remove engine and replace it. All are most likely worst case scenario's.

Check the oil pressure while hot like HitmanX said. When you changed the LPOP did you check the timing cover to see if the old pump didn't damage the cover?

I can’t remember which sensor it uses, but if the truck thinks it is out of oil, it will shut off as a way to protect the motor. I can’t remember for sure, but if it has a bad ground and it thinks it is losing oil pressure it may shut the truck down. I second Eric thoughts on a mechanical gauge. The one in the dash is more of an idiot gauge than anything else. How well does it restart after having the problem?
As a test, you could start the truck then unplug the sender to see how the truck reacts.
