I have the same issue with the truck I just bought. If you have an aftermarket oil pressure gauge, and you know all is good, then its probably just something in the wiring. (thats what I am hoping as well) so what I plan on doing is just takin the friggin bulb out :twisted: my .02

If you want, you can tee off the fitting and install the stock oil pressure sender. Then you'll have both a pressure gage and a idiot light. It's not bad insurance to have an idiot light. A sudden loss of oil pressure can get by you but an idiot light will give you an instant signal that something is wrong.
If the light is on constantly right now, it's most likely grounded out somewhere. Eliminate the ground and the light will stay off.
