Re: low oil pressure
Maybe a bad oil pressure sending unit? Very common problem on these trucks.

Re: low oil pressure
Yep, extremely low pressure would not allow the lifters to operate properly, and self-adjust lash out of themselves. This makes a *terrible* racket. I would go with Dino55 and BLT on this one. The sending unit is not expensive, but it is a pain in the butt to get swapped out. If and when you swap it, run three turns of teflon tape around the threads. I also would check to make sure that the harness was in good shape that plugs into the back of that sensor, as a high resistance connection could show lower than average pressures.

Different years of digital dashes, have different pin-outs, or connections at the back, I am not sure of the year to year differences, but there is differences.
