Likely the pressure sender has died.
This. Be sure to replace with a genuine AC Delco part.

I used an ac delco 12677836
Rock auto didn’t list it or any ac delco for my 03, but they sell them, and it’s working for me

Some have screens and some don't. I have an 05 and just replaced mine, same part # as above with @ks03, and I had no screen. You did not share your rig info so cannot go looking for you. Is it a secret?
If I remember right, the screens started sometime during or after 2007.

Mine had no screen either.
AFAIK, the screens started in the GMT900 models. (2007-2014)
should not have a screen if your rig is a 2006
What part # did you order and which manufacturer?
I just looked yours up at RA and is the same part number as mine, AC/GM 12677836. In the same application at RA, Dorman lists a sender, 926040, and a screen and show the pic but there is no place to put the screen so that is wasted money. You will not need that screen and hopefully you can get $ back for it. I do see at Amazon the AC Delco #12677836 is $20.50 and I assume that is what you ordered.
I bought that sensor off Amazon and the parts store said they had the screen i didn't actually buy the screen yet. Guess I don't need the screen. Sweet

The screen is for the VLOM for engines with AFM, which started in '07 on the Gen4 engines. Your '06 is a Gen3.
@iamdub has shared that info for when the screen started, so many times, I bet he wishes some of us would remember it.
It's good to be needed.

Doesn't matter. The internet and its misinformation is far bigger than TYF. At least it was only a $7 part and not a whole engine.
I don't know if this will help but 03 to 06 Tahoes had faulty instrument clusters. I had a 04 and same thing happened to me, oil pressure gauge pegged out at 80 psi while driving on the freeway. The dealership swapped it out no charge because it was a GM technical service bulletin. This was a while ago, so not sure if dealerships will still swap it for free.
Several threads on here about Digital Dash Solutions for their $250 free shipping custom clusters. Is quick and easy and great turn around and help if needed. You can even get the transmission temp gauge added for the same fee and that is plug and play.

Elvis has left the building....no update from OP
Perhaps we could send a drone to him for a live update. It's coming, one of these days.
