Pulling the oil pan isn't hard but be prepared to possibly twist off a bolt where pan bolts to aluminum tranny housing. Had to pull mine as drain plug was stripped out and yes I twisted off one bolt at the tranny but enough was left to weld a nut on and get out. The machine shop installed the drain plug kit from cummins so all is good now.
My ISM runs low oil pressure also. It goes down when I turn the lights on also. Doesn't worry me since that is caused by voltage drop at the dash, haven't figured that one out yet.

Larry thanks that is good information. I was quite concerned about it but I don't think I'm As much. I would like to have a second mechanical gauge but Would have to find another place to tap into it. My Bluefire never shows anything that bothers me. I could also have a wiring issue or ground like yours. I've read several posts about solving weird stuff with proper grounds.  As Roger mentioned could also be a failing converter box. Good fun either way.
Thanks Scott
