so i was driving into my gfs complex and all of a sudden my "check guages" light comes on and i see i have 0 oil pressure. So i shut the truck off and pulled over. I checked the oil level and there was nothing on the dipstick. I checked underneath my truck and there was no oil anywhere. I quickly started it back up to see if maybe it was a guage problem and it made a weird noise so i shut it back off right away.

Im assuming my oil pump died. Is there anyway to check this without getting completely involved in a replacement project? Also, is there a way to remove the oil pan and pump without raising the engine. I don't have a hoist for that.

Last thing, is my engine ****ed? i shut it off as soon as I realized i had no pressure.

i have a 93 k1500 TBI OBS 350

thanks.
