No the oil pump has never been out. The injectors are good. Top end is ok. Looks like something got into the pump and locked it up. I have heard of this as a common problem. Need to check bearings.
Should I replace parts and put it back together or pull it and rebuild it or replace it? It dinged up the gears in the housing, cracked the housing, and there were fragments in the pan.
Id try and find whatever it was that would have locked the pump up. Ive seen plenty of these engines ran low/without oil, throw parts out the side, etc and the oil pumps always look great.
Oil is drained. The pan has been dropped and we found pieced from the pump in the bottom. I lost a turbo a couple years ago you that you rebuilt for me. The snap ring backed out and it lost oil pressure. That was at least 2 yrs ago.

I thought that was you. Screen names are not my friend, but I remembered Slippery Rock. I'd pull the oil cooler head add look in there for pieces, also look at the regulator.
I bought my truck new in 05.
Truck had low oil pressure, took back to dealer was told it
was a sending unit, was told drive until we get new one.
One week later 1800 miles Chrysler had to replace motor.
Bad oil pump.
