Oil Preasure at idle fully warm

any one with a 96-99 with a 80 psi gauge can you tell me what your oil preasure is when you are at idle in gear.....Im having some suspicions of a weak oil pump....mine runs 20 psi fully warm in drive...alittle low in my book...but runs about 43psi while driving

Hey - while out driving today my gage showed about the same as yours: somewhere around mid 20s at idle and low speed, and low 40s at highway speed and up slight grade.
