Vacuum pump pulley problem

[jaysev]

Hi I have a 1996 6.5 turbo with a vacuum pump dilemma. The pump itself works, but the pulley travels in and out of alignment with the other pulleys on the engine. What I was looking for was an exploded diagram of the vacuum pump and pulley assembly before I go ripping into it. Suggestions?

lose the vac pump all together and get a turbo master or make one yourself...It's much better

If your pulley is moving I'd say your pump is going out

X2, plus I'd be concerned it'll trash your belt and strand you.

Lose it and get a shorter belt. TM on turbo OR I have new vac pumps available, $89 check the web site http://www.pmdcable.com/VAC_PUMP.html

A better description of the alignment problem would help. Does it wobble or move in and out from the pump. Wobble can be fixed by bending the pulley. In and out would be a pump getting ready to take a dump.

Guys lets not get ahead of ourselves here, he may need to keep his vac system.

Jay what is 8th digit of your VIN, if you are F VIN then you are golden, you can add a TM to the turbo and scrap the vac system and never again have to worry over vac isssues, if a S truck then you have a few decisions to make so let's start with VIN letter code 1st.
