Oil symbol keeps flashing on and off...

[ZombieHNTR]

So my Oil Symbol on the truck randomly turns on and off, I have checked my oil and the level is fine, could it be my oil pump going out?

Ya or bearing starting to spin. What's your coolant look like? Get that fixed ASAP. You could be causing damage if your pump is failing. Check the sensor to make sure it's good too.

Will do, Thanks!

Do an oil pressure test with a mechanical gauge.

When that proves out, change the sensor. Drink a beer.

Do the LEAST intrusive tests first. Only thing I've ever repaired/replaced for low base oil indication on dash is the sensor.

Getting to the pressure port is brutal on these that's why I said check the sensor.

Whatchu talkin bout willis?

Take the oil pressure sensor out, and do your mechanical test from that port. Sensor isn't that bad to get at. I'm 6'4 and about 260 lbs and I can get my gorilla paws in there.

Or skip the test altogether and just swap the sensor out. I betcha its leakin' anyhow.
