That guage is just on on/off
oil pressure or not
cam phasers, chain tensioners, lash adjusters need over 25 psi hot. the heads have pots you can put an oil pressure guage on. you should be able to rent them or have your mechanic check it out.
for the hell of it, spin a new filter on too. They can fail.

Did you catch my tip to listen thru the oil filler and see if the sound is in there? that will indicate upper end noise which can be,
Phasers, rockers, lash adjusters, chains, guides.
Next step if you hear this is to check oil pressure at the heads.
If thats ok, you can check the solenoids, the screens can become damaged, look closely.
Im going to put money on a lash adjuster/rocker OR Timing set problem (phaser or tensioner/guide)
Get a pressure guage and check it. You must follow all the steps to find the problem. Internet can be powerful, but one guys problem is not another guys problem.
Thorwing parts at it based on google and forum searches will get very very expensive.
Listen for the source of the sound thru the oil cap. Let me know from there and I will help you proceed.

Getting somewhere thanks to s_vares... Got the front of the truck tore apart and got all the replacement parts in. Next to come off is the crank pulley, power steering pump and valve covers then off with the timing cover I believe!!! S_vares is the **** and can do wonders even over the phone!!!
