OK so Here's my problem , when i start my truck my oil pressure is like 40 and doesn't change, once it warms up the pressure drops to about 10 or 15 at idle and only comes up when the engine revs ? and then never gets to 40

that's a normal condition. sometimes a different brand of oil filter will help and give you more. remember if it's not a manual guage it's just a kind of thing to watch so it doesn't go down completely.
