J Dahmer is full right with the copper thing. sooner or later that plastic will spring a leak, and you get a dash full of oil. Or worse yet, it gets weak in the engine compartment from exhaust heat and lets go, spraying oil all over your hot headers. Oh Oh!

it WAS the stock oil pressure sending unit but the guy that had it before he did stripped the sucker bad. I iced the sending unit and heated the oil filter pickup deal and we got it off. It was on there pretty friggin tight too.

Better yet go rent the socket to remove it when your getting that copper 1/8'' tubing.. at auto-zone. It sounds like It's becoming the truck from Hell! A 30 minute job ends up 4 hrs+ and yelling all those 4 letter words and throwing your tools around the yard will not help. Your trying too hard. Relax man 
PS you may have to pull the fuel pump to get to get a wrench on base of it if the lager one. the small one there's a socket for it.. Hope this has helped you on some way.
