My 84 4000 did the same thing.  After replacing the controller (it 
looks like a relay but is a bunch of electronics), monitoring the two 
oil pressure switches while driving I couldn't find an oil pressure 
problem.  My pissed off solution was to put the controller on the 
shelf in the garage leaving only the low pressure warning intact and 
monitoring the pressure guage.
