so today when i was riding along i lost all oil pressure. I shut her down, and got a pull back home. I lost my turbo in the mess, and still have no oil pressure. any ideas as to what happened? there is plenty of oil, but i read something about priming the oiling system? could it be an oil pump?

 

could be an oil pump how many miles on rig

 

Have you checked it with a mechanical gauge? Also by "lost the turbo" what do you mean?

 

assuming it siezed up? and or blew an oil seal.

 

cracked pickup

 

Is that an issue with these rigs?

 

just casting my vote for oilpump. and crfsti, Odds are the pickup would be blocked by a mangled oilpan before it actually cracked, any welds on them I have seen have been solid and the piping is nicely radiused.
