oil pressure low

Ok new prob. Got my vibration fixed. It was that the tranny was not bolted all the way to the block. But now they changed the oil sending unit cuz it was leaking oil. The problem is I used to run 15 psi pressure during idle. Now I'm running 3-4 when it heats up. When you get on the gas it goes up to round 30. When you really get on it it will drop down to 0 after you let off the gas. Any ideas.

Wrong OPSU

They put in a 6-cyl one

The ACTUAL OP didn't change just because they swapped out the OPSU. Blee dat.

I was just in your general vicinity all weekend... Overland Park...
