Oil pressure light on 63
 

I am feeling like there is not a huge problem with the truck, but I am new to these so I am wanting to check. I also want to establish I just had my oil changed 5w-30. It was doing this before the oil change too though. When I am driving it runs fine feels good no loud noises etc, but my light of my oil pressure flickers. There does not seem to be a hugely noticeable loss in power, time when it does it, etc. but it does flicker. Is this a huge problem? Is it just a bad sensor or grounded wire? I am good on oil level so I am pretty sure it is not that, and even that being said the oil does not seem to leak like it should for a 51 years old truck.

It's never a good sign if your oil light comes on while driving.

Could be faulty switch or a number of issues. I'd put an oil pressure tester where your oil switch is to see what the actual pressure is.

What engine is in your truck?

is it flickering at idle? if so go to 30/50 wt and roll a set of rods and mains in her very soon while you still have a crank

Actually no it does not seem to flicker just sitting there. More only when I am going down the road

get a new switch and as said above check and see what a gauge says
