2.9 loss of oil pressure?

[TEK4x4]

ok so this is what i got. i was at moyie springs mud bogs this last weekend and i was doing the creek crawl and messing around when i noticed my dummy oil light flash a couple times then shut off i stopped checked my oil it was fine. then the next day was driving around it came off and on and no big deal. climbed some hills and then all of a sudden on flat ground the lifters started ticking like a mother. shut it off right away and checked the oil again it was a little low toped it off and the started it lifters ticking way bad still and the light still on. i had to get it back to the truck so i put it in first and kept the rpms up to get the oil pressure up to get it back to the truck. the hole time the lifts werent happy. i dont have an oil pressure gauge in my rig right now so i dont know a hundred percent if that is the issue. so i was just seeing if anyone has herd of the oil pumps or maybe the pickup to breaking or just stop working. any help would be great! thanks

Sounds like your oil pump stb. Have you checked it with another gauge to see what its reading?
