When starting the truck, the oil pressure climbs up, however as the truck idles or drives the oil pressure slowly drops out. It is not low on oil; I just did an oil change, and the levels look good. I also pulled off the oil sensor pressure unit and looked at it as well as the screen underneath seems to be clear of sludge. After looking things up it appears that it might be a bad oil pressure sensor pressure sensor, but I don't know for sure.

Yep, I would do the oil presser sensor which is located at the rear of the engine behind the intake manifold. First to see if that helps here is the location so you can change it out. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
