Default low oil pressure

When the engines cold, the oil is at a steady 40 psi and slowly decreases as the engine warms up. When its it at normal temps and idling, it sits around 10 and gets real low sometimes.

If i go wot it'll never exceed 40..

the truck only has 35k on it.

anyone have any ideas??

Yikes! Is this a NBS or NNBS? Has the oil pan ever been removed?

Is it still under warranty?
