Happy that it worked for you! Simple fix to keep some $$ in your wallet!

Great video thanks. You don't have to take the yellow clip out though, you just push on it from the back and it releases. It is horseshoe-shaped, just push on the round centre of the horseshoe then gently pull the vacuum tube off. When the two ends of the horseshoe spread apart, the clip releases. I used both silicone and WD40 spray in there and it seems to be a lot quieter. *edit you don't have the recalled part installed. the new part has a black plastic housing and yours is still aluminum. Maybe the dealer didn't actually perform the replacement? The black plastic one still fails though eventually.

[@dtchild81]

Interesting. The dealer stated that they performed the recall. I will have to follow up. Do you have more details on the differences between the old and replacement pumps?

[@sandor2960]

@@dtchild81 you can see the difference in this video (I put the wrong link in an earlier comment) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qanSY4SMrMd3oas The other video is a replacement of a replacement. This video shows the original aluminum part vs. the newer plastic part. 5:39

Gosh, I looked on Amazon here in Canada, and a new one is $140 for a new pump...for all the work to get to it, perhaps putting a new one in is a better option!

[@danielchild3060]

@powerstroke98 - I haven't seen a pump for that price. If you can find one it may be worth a shot. Let us know if you are successful!

[@Powerstroke98]

@@danielchild3060 If you open Google, and type in 'Vacuum pump for 2016 F150 pickup' (my year of truck) a whole list of them comes up, from under $140. to $175. Even doing a search at Autozone, the one for my truck was $146. & change.

[@tomcompoli]

the 2013+ ones are cheap and small the 2011/12's are like $500+

[@compmanio36]

@@tomcompoli Yep the 2013+ are mechanical and run off the engine, the 11/12s are electric and aren't interchangeable.
