I'm considering buying a 1995 K3500 dually, AT, 6.5T, The engine starts, sounds good, no smoke. Warm and at highway speed the oil pressure is around 30, should this be cause for concern? I's use it for light towing & hauling, less than 5,00 miles a year.
Thanks for any advice.

I think on the highway mine runs about 37-38 psi when warm

Mine's about 40 @ 162,000 miles. Oil Pressure switch isn't the most accurate either. Many report changes in the pressure reading after changing it.

Same here. About 25psi hot idle.

I believe it had 15-20psi at idle after fully warmed up.
