No that was warm, at idle oil pressure. It was higher when it was cold as it should have been. Probably should be higher but at the same time it is a 25 year old truck so I'm not expecting perfection. Maybe the oil lines to the turbo are clogged up and when the oil pressure gets lower it starts to get oil starved? Man I wish I knew what that light meant! I offered the guy $1000 for the thing anyway, I figured it'd be hard to go wrong at that price, even if the turbo is cooked. I'll find out tomorrow if I got it.
