Just wondering what your 6.0's run for oil pressure. Mine runs 35 or so at 2k rpm on the dash gauge. It seems a bit low as a truck at work with a 5.3 runs 60 psi at idle. Thanks

All my guages point straight up... except the fuel... It always wants to flop to the left.

I do not monitor the oil pressure too much, but I think I have seen my oil gauge around the 35 area fully warmed up at idle. For the most part my gauge will read around the half way point, depending on rpm and temperature.

Mine runs low just like yours. It's still with in GM specs though.

lost half my oil pressure at idle and at driving speed, when at idle the low oil press. warning chimed. replaced oil sender, nothing. replaced oil pump, nothing. pulled engine only to find #2 cam-shaft bearing spun and slid out hitting the lobes on the cam. replaced engine now have 30-35 at idle and 50-55 at driving speed
