Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Looking for a Vacuum Pump

[JDriscoll]

I'm looking for a replacement vacuum pump for a 2001 3500. Somebody broke into the yard at our shop and stole the vacuum pump off of our truck. Whoever did it obviously knew what they were looking for, the vacuum pump was the only thing missing. The intake horn and grid heater were left laying on top of the valve cover, but everything else is untouched. We were trying to sell the truck because of it's age and mileage, but we can't sell it if it's not running.



I want to get the truck back up and running without having to sink a ton of money into it. Anybody know a source for a used vacuum pump?



Thanks,

John

Go to your local bar and ask around, maybe someone will steal it back for you! Snoking

They pop up on ebay quite often.

I got the truck back up and running, but who ever took the original pump must not have had as much luck. The broke in and took the replacement pump. I can't believe people would do this crap.

Wow JDriscol, I feel for you, but where do you live?

Helena, MT The truck belongs to the company I work for and is kept inside a fenced equipment yard. The good thing is my personal 2500 was parked right next to it both times, but they left it alone. The worst part is that they took all of the nuts and bolts, and the two long bolts that hold the intake horn on are pretty hard to find. They stole the power steering pump this time, too. They just cut the lines so that will be fun.
