Hey, I hope I can do what you just did, that's buy a new truck. I have an '06 Z71 with 230K miles and it is on it's last leg. Lifters clicking very badly. But it has been a great truck. Drove it off the lot with 300 miles on it.
Congrats on your new purchase, and enjoyed the story. Replace the o-ring on your oil pump and keep driving.

Helped my 04 GMC. Oil pressure was on the low end. After Seafoaming twice, my oil pressure came up to normal pressures.

The reason I said o-ring is because it's a common issue with them cracking not allowing adequate pressure to build. I'm not saying seafoam won't fix it, I'm just recommending trying it if he wants to keep the truck.
