What does everyone's trucks usually run at a hot idle and hot WOT? 2000 5.7 is what I have, curious to hear what everyone else says.

Seems like everyone's is different. I do a simple Google search and I find that alot of them are very close to mine but then I ask on here and everyone's are above mine.Mine has approx 35 Psig at idle 800 rpm.
It goes up to 40-45 as I rev it up.
All of these pressures on a warmed up engine.
My truck only has 116K and appears as if it was maintained very well.I personally would like see no less than 28-30 Psig @ idle on a good healthy engine. Specially on the later year/model engines since they have tighter bearing specs.
You first have to determine is everyone using an actual mechanical gauge, then wonder if they are using the same gauge or where they have it hooked to.
Because I have no idea what my oil pressure is, really, if I remember correctly, the gauge on these trucks is run off a three position switch.
Mine has the OEM gauge and it does not act like 3 position switch. It does move around and measures In between pressures. A three position switch would only give 3 readings and one of them would be zero(because it goes to zero when the engine is off). So that would leave you with measuring two other pressure readings, not sure what those would be.
