The mechanical oil pressure on my ETH truck reads:

Cold idle = 75psi
Warm idle = 32-35psi

Cold cruising = 90psi
Warm cruising = 65psi

This is reading downstream of the filter/oil pump at a port in the side of the engine just below the ECM box. Running Amsoil 15W40 HDD oil.

I'm getting the same readings (I think... kinda hard to tell with the stock dash gauge), although they seem a little higher now that I've switched to Shell Rotella from stock Mopar oil.
