If my truck sits overnight in very cold conditions the oil pressure drops to nothing when I'm first starting up the truck. If I step on the accelerator it come up, but then drops down to nothing again. It does this until it warms up a bit.
It is fine if I have my truck plugged in over night. Or if the temp is over 25 degrees F.

Very concerned

The first thing you need to determine is what the oil pressure actually is. The vehicle needs to be hooked up to a manual guage while it is cold. There are several posibilities if it does have low oil pressure and some of them are not as severe as others. Please post your findings so we can obatain the best solution.
