Why Eric? Are you usually in a bad mood……LoL.
The Silverado with oil pressure issue – Didn’t catch the year. If it turns out to be an instrument cluster issue, this is very common. The gauges are driven by stepper motors. Replacement cluster is about $600. Mine is an ’04 I bought almost new. I replace the stepper motors when they fail; about $4 each on eBay. So far I have replaced oil pressure, volt meter, temperature indicator, speedometer. Now tach is going out; it is next. Lots of stuff posted on the internet on how to do this. Soldering skills are needed.
After he checks the pressure with a mechanical test gauge like you said, suggest he consider this if it turns out the actual oil pressure is good.
