Not knowing how many oil changes the truck has had in the last 90K miles, I can only guess. I would pull the oil pressure sending unit and screw in a remote oil pressure gauge, then check the actual warm oil pressure.
With only 90K on the motor, I find it hard to believe it would be worn lifters, unless the engine has been poorly maintained. It may be a partially plugged oil pickup screen. A gauge OP test should tell the story.
