Welcome back! I’m pretty sure I have enough Rx taken daily to assign chess board pieces to all the shapes, sizes and colors of the pills.

Well that didn't take long. Recovering from surgery and caught the flu. Now recovering from that.
Oddities:
Last week we were heading over to my father's home for his birthday. The truck was remote started and as I pulled out onto my street the Service Park Assist message came up on the DIC and the light on the button/switch would flicker. I would engage the cruise control and it would cut out every time the park assist would flicker. There was no problem on the way home and it hasn't acted up again since.
Was taking my wife to dinner the other night and while on the highway I noticed that the engine's oil pressure was about 10 psi below normal. The needle is usually just below 40 psi at speed and it was around 30 psi. Oil level was a little low but still showing on the has marks on the stick. My wife has been driving it mostly since I've been sick. We're about 3,000 miles on this oil change.
The next morning at the cabin I put they key in the ignition and fired it up and the motor didn't want to run. It stayed running at about 250 rpms, oil pressure was slow to come up and I shut it off and started over. Ran fine after that. Oil pressure was still low but not as low as the day before on the way home.
Idle pressure appears to be about 3-5 psi lower than normal, about 20 hot.
The first thing I'm going to do today with it is change the oil filter. I normally run the long K&N Gold HP2011 filters and it has an ACDelco PF48 on it right now.
If that doesn't rectify the oil pressure, I'll pull the intake and remove the screen under the oil pressure sensor. My 6.2s don't have them. She's still rockin' her original oil pressure sensor.
Comments, suggestions?

Scanned the computer system with the Tech-2 and P0521 00 came up, the oil pressure sensor! So in light of that revelation, we'll change that first and take it from there.
Good time to clean the throttle body and Mass Airflow Sensor too.
