Got to say a big thank you for your video. Never have replaced the power steering pump myself and certainly never the vacuum pump seals. Was up in the Ga mountains and power steering we not out. No places were open to tow and had to do the repair on a gavel lot. Just had to say thanks for all the direction and information. Went together perfect. Thanks!

[@COMM114]

Getting ready to fix my 1999 Dodge 2500 Cummins power steering leak. Thanks for the input. I'm a fan of your videos.

[@JustMe-gw3eo]

Dang it. I thought you were gona rebld the steering pump too. 😂 Thanks still excellent video anyway. Good job. Appreciate you

[@thegreekguyviva-greece5881]

thank you for the visual. im a diesel mechanic and sometumes the comments are just people being bored, know it all's. you did it right, no leaks, no problems. THANK YOU for the visual, it's nice to see it sometimes just to see it. well, gotta do mine soon enough, leaks my ass after taco bell and it's annoying me.

[@ericrollins8960]

I just replaced mine and resealed my vac pump while I don’t have any leaks my brakes pulsate now like something is getting air into it I bled the power steering like he did as well. Any insight?

[@iloveamerica1966]

1055 pull the gear out all the way then tightening the bolts between the two halves of the vacuum pump was a great tip. Thanks. My gear shaft tightened up same as yours did and had to come back to take a look.

[@gkinner]

The 1996 Shop Manual also says you can use silicone or molar seal to hold that main gasket in place when installing the whole unit back in place to the timing chain cover.

[@erichowe2078]

Awesome, I watched other vids but no one else mentioned bleeding the system which I was curious about since I had done the hydro-boost a few years ago and it was required on that as well. Thanks a bunch!

[@iloveamerica1966]

It's a $1400 job at the Dodge dealer, because they replace the vac & ps pumps, charging 20% premium on diesel labor.

[@imsurroundedbyidiocracy]

I didn't hear anything about using a double seal until 11:38. Did I miss something?

[@madisonbartram8678]

Great video! i would have never attempted work without the videos.

[@DieselWorld]

Thank you!

[@mohavegreen8137]

Great video Russell. My brakes got hard to push and I thought it might be a problem with the hydro boost but the issue persisted so now I think I may have to rebuild/replace the vaccum pump.

[@glmoore001]

Thank you for the video. You helped me do both the Vacuum Pump Rebuild and the Radiator Change. Great videos.

[@lphilp57]

Very informative video, well done and worth watching!

[@thegoodearth7]

Thanks! I am getting ready to do this job and your video helped a great deal!

[@kenheisner288]

The steel braided pressure line to install thread a few turns on the bottom of the pump then attach the engine side after pump is installed tighten both side

[@kennedykioko]

great video thank you! the fishing twine is a neat trick too!

[@kenheisner288]

It’s on the horizon for me to do this. Oil leak has developed on the pump / vacuum pump. I will make sure I have the vacuum pump seals as well

[@dennisdecosta4480]

Thank U buddie 👍🏽 will try to remember,saving video 😜

[@robertatwood2503]

been nice to see how you got the pressure line on

[@aircommuter]

I never saw you check the vanes, also the drive coupling is the name of the you call a mechanism. Someone asked about the pressure line install, it is best to start it before you mount the unit to the timing housing. The power steering pump has its own seal, nothing to do with the vacuum pump seal which is sealing engine oil only.

[@iloveamerica1966]

Great video. Thanks for posting it.

[@oscarramirez1065]

Thanks for you video Russell

[@juanhbanda]

What about the steering pump seal . Hoy do you remove the connecting part pressed in the shaft to replace the seal?

[@olmrbat]

great video!

[@tip.performance]

Great job on the video👌

[@kingkolt886]

What size socket do I use if I don’t have a a bearing driver. The part I need to drive is the cylinder.

[@kingkolt886]

Can you show me where all 5 hoses connect

[@TheWiesle]

and why does it exhaust into a sealed chamber where air can not escape?

[@williamvaughn9870]

I have a 2000 w/Cummins I have a oil leak and looks like it could be where the vacuum pump bolts on, does that sound possible to you?

[@TheWiesle]

where does the vacuum pump exhaust the air to

[@helihoot]

Where is the support bracket?

[@michaelbegay9573]

Jus being a know-it-all but if return lines are getting brittle should've put new ones on, but i'm weird that way. :-)

[@ViperCruz89]

will the vacuum pump seal leak also cause a power steering fluid leak?

[@DieselWorld]

Yes it can.

[@woodstoneconstruction3350]

Does this part has to do w/making the brakes works properly?????

[@andrewkresek4550]

The brakes run off the hydraulic pressure created by the power steering pump and modulated by the hydrobooster. No power steering pump = no steering and no brakes.

[@cameronbailey7437]

Trash can work benches are great! lol not really....

[@kenheisner288]

I like using the tail gate myself
