Is it normal for oil pressure to climb to 70 psi when you step on the gas and drop to 40 psi when you are at idle on a 1998 Chevy Silverado?

Sounds to me that you have a Well oiled machine, I would say that is normal, especially if you have a high volume oil pump installed (Melling, Etc). 40psi at idle is darn good, 70psi always runs the risk of blowing oil pass the bearings, If this is a Stock application, Be Happy, should get you 200,000 miles or more w/ regular oil changes >2500 to 3500 miles.

You need to replace the gauge cluster... I hate to say that, but that is the only fix. It is common on the silverado series trucks as well. This was verified by 2 mechanics and the Chevy dealer.
