First, heavier oil in not a fix for a possible low oil pressure issue.
You need to have the pressures tested at a cold start, at idle and 2000 RPM's and agin when warm at idle and 2000 RPM's. Do not waste your time and engine messing around with any other test.
Also, quit driving it cause if it is the oil pump, every time that light comes on you ar causing damage to the engine.

We need to know what year your truck is and how many miles are on it.
Also where do you get your oil changed and what oil are they using?
5w-30 is to thin when it gets hot and can cause the oil light to flicker at a hot idle.
I have no idea where you live, but if its been well into the 90's and above, my money is on the motor oil being to thin when hot.
