My rodeo has 140k When the engine is cold the oil pressure is 40-60 psi'
After driving for about 10 minutes the oil pressue drops to about 25-30 at low speeds. But when I stop at intersections the oil drops to ZERO. Oil level is good - What can this be? HELP

Try the oil pressure sender first, thats the cheapest place to start. Use the factory oil filter. If still low could be the oil pump

Also, make sure your running the correct weight of oil. Having a good pressure at start up and then alot less later tells me that the oil could be thinning too much when it heats up.
