When i first start my 99 24V Cummins i get no oil pressure for the first 5 seconds or so after its fired up.

Whats the deal is this normal?

I worked on an 03 for a guy that was having the same type of issues ( but lasting a little longer) after beating my head against the wall for a while i decided to pull the oil pan. i found a crack on the oil suction tube where it bolts to the block. I replaced it and have had no further problems. Yours may be cracked or it may be loose. If it is loose it will also cause oil pressure issues.
