Oil Pressure
I have a 2000 PSD and just recently the oil light pops on sometimes at start up and or after the engine is warm and then re-started. The only thing that has been done to the truck recently was that the dealer installed what they called dye in the oil to check for a leak. No leak was found but the truck was used for about 2 weeks with the dye in the oil. I have changed the oil with the normal Rotella since only once. Could this have caused a visocity problem?

I wouldn't think the dye would be hazardous to your truck, but it sounds like the only variable that seems logical. Comparing the cost of an oil change with the cost of a new engine, I'd be changing the oil. If you've still got warranty, I'd let the dealer figure it out, since they might be the ones that caused it.
