Ford F-150 3.5 Ecoboost Vacuum Pump & Seal Replacement

In this video is necessary to replace the brake vacuum pump on a F1 50 with a 3.5 L eco-boost engine. One company, they have pressurized and threw them at all times. When these pumps fail they leak a lot of oil. The oil runs down the bell housing of the transmission anc can appear to be a rear main seal leak. Make sure to check the links in the description for the correct part or seal that you need. Thank you for watching if you have any questions or comments feel free to leave something in the comment section. Thank you

I have watched 4 videos of mechanics replacing this vacuum pump and your video is the most simple and clear well explained I mean better 🤭👍

[@salvillarreal]

Just did this to my 2016 because my pedal was stiff going slow. Did it in an hour with a ratchet from the top just laying across the engine. Great video. Thanks!!

[@ibajs2]

I just completed this operation on my 2013 F150 and what a pain it is! The easiest way to approach this is through the passenger inner fender well. Remove the passenger tire and the inner fender and you will have easier access to the screws on the bottom of the vacuum pump. I found the top screw easier to access from the top (I used a long handled pivoting ratchet). I had to leave the top screw in the pump assembly when removing because there was not enough room between the pump and the firewall to remove the screw - remember to put that back in BEFORE attempting to reinstall the pump!. Note that the brass-looking oil tube and the wingnut-looking thing on the assembly are NOT securely attached as part of the assemble and they will fall off and land in the most inconvenient of places (schedule a half hour for this - I found mine on the metal splash shield). Not a horrible job the second time you'd have to do this but a real pain the first time.

Thanks for the help. I started the project on an early weekend morning -- highly motivated. I had the OEM part, the torque wrench, brake cleaner, 8mm ratchet and wrench, a rag or two, high-performance silicone, floodlight, and even a couple of zip ties. I chose to access the vacuum pump from the top (engine compartment) versus the bottom (wheel well) technique. I removed the oil cap and engine cover. Disconnected the hose. And then I reached the 8mm bolts with my wrench. Wow, they're tight! Like crazy tight. Like loctite tight. The previous owner must have tried to stop the leak by tightening the bolts. I couldn't budge them; especially, with the little leverage available working in such a small space. I tried all 3 bolts. No progress on any of them. Reluctantly, I'm going to call around for pricing. Thanks again.

[@jd-jj5ji]

How much were the quotes that you got back? trying to decide if i want to tackle this myself or not

[@fernandoherrera3873]

@jd-jj5ji From a real mechanic shop, they quoted $750. I dont think that included the part. I remembered I still had a mechanic's phone number in my phone and contacted him. He did a superb job for $350. Came to my location. Van fully equipped with a generator and compressed air and water. Still good and no sign of leaking. I got already purchased an OEM part, and he insisted on an OEM part. So I was glad I already had that.

[@skullhart]

Thanks! Been holding off on this until today because your video was so helpful. Not many techs specify the tools and sizes to get the job done! Thank you.

[@durantetest]

The milled circle where the gasket goes has 2 deep indentations opposite to each other. It is only at these two indentations where silicone is to be applied. (Check minute 3:42 - 3:52).

[@louisbuchetto8303]

Just Wrapped it up, went well. Tips: (1) Buy the Dorman 800-040 replacement clips before you begin. (2) Remove the bolts with the head of the bolt aimed downward, otherwise they hit the firewall and are a pain to remove and install.

[@sheldor73]

The job from the engine bay was fairly easy. The most difficult part for me was removing the vacuum line with that damn clip. Broke the clip as they are so fragile so I zip-tied around the entire clip and it holds stronger than with just the clip. I layed towels at the front of the engine bay (for support for my abdomen and legs) and basically climbed up and laid flat like I was planking. I used the mirror for cleaning/scraping old sealant off the aluminum area behind the engine where the pump goes. Took an hour. Im not a mechanic and have never done it before.

2014 F150 Eco. 167K mi. I wish I saw this video before I paid $1700 to the Ford dealer to fix- said it was a 5hr job? Business truck...so yes its a write off, but damn that's a lot! They said that they had to pull the valve cover and replace that gasket too. From the comments, I too had the random smoke come up from the passenger side under the hood at idle- smelled like burning oil in the vehicle occasionally. I took it in immediately when I no longer felt safe driving- It started out months prior with an occasional sound of the ABS activating when I was creeping in idle letting off/on the brake when towing a trailer. Then it went away (the smell & smoke were still there on/off) I drove it with no issues for a couple more months, then I towed again- this time it came back to stay with or without towing. It was a lot $ to swallow that fix, but 10 years and I only replaced a throttle body (myself) and a brake light switch. No other issues.

[@doughboyracing]

I've had to have this done twice, first time at 148k and just recently at 176k. I wish I'd know this second time it was the same issue, I'd done it myself. This part is roughly $150, but labor was what got me, nearly $500. Never again.

It only leaks engine when engine is on. The oil is clear, tan or brown ( depends on your engine oil condition and age). If get to underneath the car, near passengers side firewall, you will see leaking oil covers transmission, starter, etc. Most time when it is not so severe, you don't experience anything unless you go underneath the car, you will discover the leak, and you almost think leak comes from head, but for F150 2013-2014 Eco-boost ( I heard some the Explore and Expedition too), it is due to the Vacuum pump.

Aaron Hines oh you already have one 😁 cool men thanx 👍🏻

[@juanprenteria5077]

Thanx you some much for you videos 👍🏻

All you have to do is push in on that white piece to release it.

Can this part cause a rough idle? My truck (2015 F150 3.5EB) has had what I believed to be a misfire since the day I got it at 120k miles, but have had no luck fixing it with boots, properly gapped plugs, and cleaning MAF sensors.

[@Uncle_Bean]

Might be moisture in the intercooler. My 13 eb had this issue and drilling a peep hole helped.

[@peteroconnell2739]

Does it make sense that about the same time I started noticing the burning smell coming from the vents, I started noticing a sort of groaning feel/sound at slow speeds when turning/braking? Thanks to all for your comments/ideas/questions/answers.!!!! :-))

[@markosborn1394]

That is exactly what I'm experiencing. I've read elsewhere that the vacuum pump might be failing when you notice that "groaning". Did you ever resolve the problem with your truck?

[@peteroconnell2739]

@@markosborn1394 Mark, I ended up getting rid of the F-150 back in july. I did replace the vacuum pump, but that didn't seem to take care of the problem. I ended up replacing the valve cover on the right side, I believe. And that still didn't seem to take care of it. I would have probably ended up replacing the valve cover on the opposite side had I still had it. Wish I could offer more help. I did do the vacuum pump job myself but it was a miracle I got it swapped out because it was a job for small hands and somebody mighty flexible. 😋

[@markosborn1394]

Thanks anyway. Since we're talking about two problems (smell and the noise) did it not solve either one?

[@zenjamin6262]

I have the same thing I was wondering if because the vacum pump is failing if the vacume actuated 4wd awe were not able to suck the awe causing it to drag in 4wd

[@hesterja44]

This was the comment I was looking for. Having same problem(s). Smell and noise. Was hoping someone else said that this fixed both. I've never been able to solve my iwe noise. Really hoping this is it. Plan on replacing pump tomorrow

[@mikeguined2795]

At what mileage should the pump be changed

[@roberthughes2687]

When it starts leaking

[@stormprogress]

Does this affect the IWE? I have changed hubs, actuator, check valve and solenoid but still hear slight grind and feels like is in 4WD. 2013 eco boost 3.5.

[@malonetravis5785]

Have you update on this? I believe it does because your iwe may have low vacuum pressure from the line and it’s causing the grinding sound. Have you replace pump yet?

[@hundredeyes5148]

you have to replace the vacuum lines. its not that hard replaced all the things you did as well

[@marcharris4176]

Hook it up to a vaccum gauge and see what vaccum is when running.
