Fluctuating oil pressure
I have a 96 f250 with the 460 gas in it and I've noticed oil pressure fluctuations with it after i baught it that maybe someone can shed some light on. The truck looks like it's been babied, 9/10 interior and exterior which was pretty much the reason I baught it, I figured who would take that much care of it and neglect regular maintenance.
So the oil pressure issue I have usually starts after driving on the highway for 20-30 minutes at 70 MPH. The needle will start to shake and go down past the line in about 10 seconds. It will shake it's way up and down a couple times if there's hills but after a couple minutes it's just reading 0. If I drop speed to 60-65 it will read normal, or if I'm cruising and accelerate hard it will jump to Normal also but as soon as I let off the gas to coast it shoots back down. On another note if I'm using cruis controll when it goes down and I turn OD off to raise rpm it will jump to Normal for a second or two then go back down. Anyone have a similar issues?

Thank you for the speedy reply, I am hopefully that it's something minor like that. Also if anyone has any diagnostics to help narrow down the reason for this issue it would be much appreciated.
