ive just recently bought this truck and all seems great new injectors and all new filters and fresh oil change (shell rotella 15w 40) but the oil presuure over two weeks has went from center on the gauge to more left of gauge although its still in normal on the gauge it seems a little to low for my own comfort. so how how to i determine if its the gauge or really an oil pressure issue. but just so you know the engine runs strong no loss of power and no hesitation. it has 185,000 on the odometer.. and one more thing is there a way to set this truck to a fast idle for the PTO.

welcome to FTE
we have a forum for the psd futher down the page.
the oil pressure gauge in the dash is fake, anything above 7psi will make the needle read half. put a real gauge on it to be sure. to raise the idle, there is a box that you plug into the truck that you can raise rpms with, i believe its called an aicm.
