I can't speak to Chevy and Mopar, but most Fords (trucks and cars) made nowadays with oil pressure gages don't really indicate anything except that you have a minimum pressure. Instead of a sender, they have a pressure switch. The problem is that oil pressure senders have horrible reliability, and are more likely to fail than your oil pump. A switch is quite a bit more reliable, so that's what they use. That's why your Ford pressure seems to be rock steady. Put a mechanical gage in there and you will see the pressure fluctuate with speed and temperature like you would expect.
