Default 5.0 Oil Pressure Questions...

Not the same, but not totally different. My 5.0 Bronco's oil pressure gauge goes all over the place. The truck has less than 100k and has been well maintained. After some reading it turns out that the gauge is nothing more than a dummy gauge. The sending unit is basically a switch. At some magic psi the gauge will read normal. A lot of the time the mechanism inside of the cluster is the culprit for the gauge being so jumpy. My neighbor, who owns a shop, said that if the gauge reads at all you're fine. Best bet is to install a mechanical gauge if you're worried.
