Pics of the truck, please.

You are already receiving sage advice from the knowledgeable folks on this Forum.

That is a normal oil pressure for hot oil.

If your engine has V4 mode hardware (likely), parts of that subsystem may bleed off some oil pressure.
Disabling / shutting off V4 mode will not fix the underlying hardware issue.

Even given that, your oil pressure is on the low side of OK.

If you've any doubts, have your oil pressure checked, preferably by a mechanic
with a DIFFERENT SEPARATE physical gauge in a different spot.
