That "pin" is the rod that is attached to the EBPV. If you have oil coming out there the bearing seal is leaking oil into the turbine exhaust housing. Get the center housing rebuilt soon or it will become more expensive to fix. Hope it's not too late already.

It was a Turbonetics, not a Garrett, but same carnage when it has a catastrophic failure.
This is why you want to get it taken care of as soon as possible.

I had someone look at my Hurt broken puppy
Looks like I need to put a Turbo unit in. I started looking on Ebay and found many rebuilt units for around 5-600 dollars with a one year warranty.
I was wondering how much should a swap run? Guestamate? Thanks again for your help gang! I really appreciate it

I believe that he is one guy that I saved on the Rebuilt units on ebay.
Problem is PaysonPSD, I'm not knowledgeable at all with turbo units at all. After looking on Ebay, I popped the hood and took a good look. I really don't think this is something I can handle. Especially without someone with experience. It is kinda burried in the Back and she has 220K. I figure there will be some very troublesome rusty bolts that will end my attempt.
Thanks very much for responding to my issue. I need to find the right guy for the job. A guy I know looked at it and wasn't to positive about the situation? 3 days still waiting on a labor price and parts??? Good thing I know him
I really don't understand people sometimes??
Probably better off with a stranger

If you don't feel comfortable doing it you shouldn't, but experience is the best teacher.
You should tackle some smaller maintenance jobs and work your way up to some of the more
complicated stuff. That is what I did after joining FTE back in late '07.
Good luck and I hope a friendship doesn't get ruined over this.

I do my own maintenance for sure. I used to run a Drag bike and had a 10 second Box nova. Used to swingin motors 
This just looks like something I don't want to do. I have a bad back which will not help. I was looking at it for 5 minutes yesterday and it hurt
If one thing in this life I learned is not to rely on anyone. My friend never even called me back? No price, no nothin?? Still friends but now I need to find someone to do the job

If you have a bad back it would only make it worse. If I work under the hood
for a couple of days I generally have to take a couple of days off to recuperate.
If you were in AZ and not NY I would do it for you.

That sure is awesome PaysonPSD
I would gladly pay you for your time.
We made some headway. My Buddy is charging my $250 for the job. I do have a few questions
#1- Since the turbo took a crap, There is oil in the exhaust system. How or what do I need to do if anything? I figure it would smoke like crazy till it Burns out? Possibly catch fire???
What should I do
#2- I understand there was a few different Turbo units in this year 7.3. I took a few pics
#3- found rebuilt units on Ebay with a 2 yr warranty.Around $700 but They give back a $100+ for the core so it will end up about $600.
#4- I need to get all new clamps. A few gave my bud a hard time getting off so he feels we should get new to be safe.
#5- I know I need a gasket set to plug the new unit in.
I saw one unit that uses a different turbo that has Banks wheels to help with the low end lag. It's actually cheaper but only has a six mo warranty.

I would never take money from nice people. But Jerks, on the other hand, would be a different story.

I had an aftermarket exhaust and took it off and cleaned each piece. I'm glad I didn't install the muffler that came with it. It would have been impossible to get really clean. I wouldn't worry about fire. I drove 45 miles and pumped seven gallons through my exhaust without flames.
#2- I understand there was a few different Turbo units in this year 7.3. I took a few pics
99.5 to 2003 all had the same stock turbo. A Garrett GTP38 journal bearing turbo. Early 99 had a slightly smaller turbo with what we call a Wicked Wheel for the compressor.
#3- found rebuilt units on Ebay with a 2 yr warranty.Around $700 but They give back a $100+ for the core so it will end up about $600.
Buy from Ron's Turbo Service for piece of mind. There are other places to buy but I have not heard to much about them.

This kit from Guuzzle's Diesel O-rings will have what you need. But Guzzle has
But will be back on the 18th.

Banks just uses there own branded type wicked wheel.
If you want stock get a GTP38. Easiest install.

Edit : Can't tell from the pics but if the up-pipes are sooty where they go into the collector, which means there is an exhaust leak, you should install new donut gaskets. Beast done when turbo is off.

This means you would charge me a fortune? You have answered a lot of my questions and have been a great help. Thanks very much, Ricky!!
So just plug her back together and run it? Don't worry bout the oil in the Exhaust?
I'll look at the down pipe and see if shes sooty and get a Dunkin exhaust donut if needed.
On a good note. I scored a clean tailgate yesterday for $150. The guy that was going to do the tailgate and fix my rusty rear wheel wells I asked near 2 months ago????? This whole thing would have been someone else's headache as I'm lookin to off this truck after our 7 year marriage and get me a dodge(mercedes) sprinter. I do a TON of drivin. The fuel bills are killin me. My Buddy just bought one used, 5 cyl mercedes motor. He's getting 27MPG with some weight. He sells steel for knife making. I'm starting to make knives myself.
