You didn't say how many miles were on the truck or if there was any clunking down around the oil pan. If your pressure gauge is wandering, your oil pressure sending unit may be bad. If the sending unit is OK, it is time to drop the oil pan.
You may have to drop the tie rod or sway bar to get it out. Check the oil pick-up screen for blockage. If it is clear, check the oil pump for excess play. Replace if needed. If the screen is blocked, clean it by soaking in solvent, replace the oil pump, drop the rod and main bearing caps and examine the crank bearing surfaces. If they are in good condition, you can buy .001" undersized bearings. Lubricate generously and reassemble. Torque to the correct setting, then put the pan back on. This job can be done by one or two moderately skilled back yard mechanics if supplied with a case of beer.
If the bearing surfaces are scarred, take the crankshaft out and take it to a machine shop. You are going to have to take out the timing chain on the front end and unbolt the torque converter or flywheel from the back end of the crank. This job requires a good bit more skill, so unless you have an expert mechanic on speed dial, take it to a shop.

check in the area above the rim of the oil filter...they're typically located very close to the filter.

Fuel Pump
Removal & Installation
To Remove:
CAUTION
Drain the fuel from the fuel sender assembly
into an approved container in order to reduce the risk of fire and personal
injury. Never store the fuel in an open container.
To Install:
CAUTION
In order to reduce the risk of fire and
personal injury that may result from a fuel leak, always replace the fuel sender
gasket when reinstalling the fuel sender assembly.
CAUTION
The fuel pump strainer must be in a
horizontal position when the sending unit is installed in the tank. When
installing the sending unit, assure that the fuel pump strainer does not block
full travel of the float arm.
SOURCE: My 2002 GMC Yukon Denali's fuel guage goes up
Most likely the rheostat on the float is bad. Unfortunately, this is part of the fuel pump and inside the fuel tank.
