FSM
Oil pressure At idle speed (normal operating temperature)
29 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm2, 4.3 psi) or more
At 3,000 rpm (normal operating temperature)
245 - 520 kPa (2.5 - 5.3 kgf/cm2, 36 - 75 psi)
note: it's pretty tight in that spot

Thanks for the info, guys.
Recently found that the sound is coming from the fuel injectors (waky), so have no further reason to suspect the oil pressure. 4 psi is scary - VERY scary.
Motor runs great and gets 23 mpg. Will add new injectors and fuel pressure controller when the weather warms next spring.
With a truck this old you never know. The motor... the trans - ANYTHING might have been changed by the previous owners. Best thing is to assess the truck by what it's doing...
I want to get the wheels powder coated. Truck is all black so orange base with lots of metal flake... Should be a head turner!
