I made an adapter to check at the oil cooler port. But i had the tools to do that, not everyone does.
Replace 5.3 l59 with this....

Pulled oil sensor, bloody mess for my hand. Had to drop fuel lines to get room. Went to parts store and got pick set, fished around down inside to the full length of the pick was worried I would drop it in. What a mess that would be.
Put old one in, nothing, pulled old back out, blood still dripping from hand.
Reading about screens , turns out it wasn’t till 2007 when they started putting screens in. I couldn’t find the screen because I don’t ffffin have one.
Going to leave the sob out and let my hand heal a little bit. Will probably put more oil in and crank the mother to see if something squirts out. Have read it could turn to a mess real quick. Will see.
Going to have local mechanic come over and help. Frustrated man.

Dont want to be that guy, but you put oil back in it right?
I have seen a guy do that at work. He rebuilt a forklift engine, put it in and fired it up without putting oil in the darn thing. It wasnt that he didn't know hat he was doing, was just in a hurry.

No that’s what I finally came up with. Putting the dipstick tube back in I snapped the mother the tacked holder was broke. Got another one promptly snapped that one too. Have another on order to arrive next week. 15 dollar part 45 for shipping. When I put the thing back together I was pouring oil over rocker arms, gears etc. , maybe not enough got to pan , will check today. Definitely used six quarts when I did it. Was wondering how much oil an can an engine hold in suspension?

No, if you put six in it there should be 5.5 in the pan and half a quart in the filter. So quick test if the pump is working, take the filter off and see if it has oil in it.
Or did you prefill the filter?

Refilled filter. Was thinking drain oil and refill. That way I'll know for sure.
Worth every penny.

Snowed here about 6 inches . hung around for three days, then rain melted everything. Weird.
Had local scan guy come over look at oil pressure sensor to see if it was working. Figured oil pickup tube was faulty. Dropped front axle and pan, it was faster this time, and you can see the o ring not sealed. Ordered part from azon should be here sat. Still waiting for order from the 6th.

Hope this helps somebody else to avoid this problem. Cheers

I might add the pickup tube only had one bolt. The flange was designed that way. The part should synch up the tube and be held by two bolts.
Stay ahead of trouble? Yours has 220k on it. Its no spring chicken, but theres no upcoming trouble. Why would you waste money and time on this? If you really wanna stay ahead, go ahead and replace the ************* transmission and rear end these turds came with.
