The pump pick up on these trucks is bolted in two places with an oring seal on the end that goes up to the oil pump. This pump is not like the conventional back of the pan old school pump. This is a gearator pump on the front of the engine.. very reliable and always soaking in oil. If the pump went out.. it would be a miracle. If the truck is still full of oil and you have a tick, meaning no oil in the lifters... I am with parts guy.. something clogging an oil passage.

I thought the truck would not start if the ECM sees no oil pressure? Something to check out.

Hope you know your dealer.. I am seeing the "your aftermarket turbo kits taps off the factory system and that caused the failure" excuse coming otherwise.

Good luck with it.. something tells me it will end up being something simple, better safe than sorry though.

EDIT: Guess you have a picture of what I described already.. guess I should have read all the way through </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Thanks BlownZ06. I've studied this pretty hard and it's always been Mobil 1 synthetic right out of their container and that's hard to screw up. So what else could block a 16000 mile engine oil passage???? Not much that I can think of. And it would take a fairly good sized piece of contaminant to block a passage 100%. And between shut off and restart????????
