You can get it out without taking the Turbo off, Use a IIRC a 1 1/4 box end wrench to loosen it. Now for the pushrod, take the bolts out of the pump and then turn the engine over by hand until it pushes the pump up as far as it can, Then lift it straight up being cautious to not let the push rod fall out.
3 pumps that ive done and havent dropped the pushrod yet.as far as necessity of removeing the turbo is concerned,what year is your truck.the 97 california emissions trucks require removeing the turbo.

You may not have heard about it but it has happend many many times and it will drop to the pan, Do you want it rolling around in your Pan?
as long as it goes to the pan and is confirmed to be in the pan and not somewhere up in the camshaft or crankshaft areas it won hurt a thing.

With a name like Haywood, you sound like a real knowledgeable character, especially being a new member. Your knowledge is in question, and I doubt that you are nothing but a troll. My experience, and reading have not come across anyone who has dropped one. I'm sure it has happened, and if it drops to the pan, it is not a problem, as it will just sit there.
I suggest you take a flying leap with your expertise.

was at a class with a 25yr + psd and diesel repair tech, in fact he wrote books on the subject, and has pretty much seen it all.
push rods do fall out, it does happen
if they drop to the pan a ok, but if they dont look out.
Ive change a bunch myself, havent dropped one yet.

First off Its Heywood and i have been on here a long time But changed my user name. Thats my right and if you dont like it You take a Leap buster.
IF you think my Knowlage is questionable thats your opinion. I dont care to have that thing floating around in my $5000 engines pan. If you do or dont care then your not as Smart as you think you are. I Work on the PSD truck Daily for a living so i guess I would not know anything about them

It was no big deal, I read that on my ALLDATA instruction & thought "great"! It didn't even give a hint of falling off. The new pump came with one. The old pump when I tried to pull the pushrod off had suction on it holding on from the oil, after I took it out it would fall out if you just held it like it sits on the motor. The new one had a little grease that held it in fine. Thanks for the help!
