canadian 5000s turbo diesel vac pump

Jack, There used to be a 5ktd in a wrecking yard near me, I'll go and check to see if the car's still there the next time I'm by there to see if it still had the vac pump. To answer your question, provided that the pumps are both vacuum pumps, there probably is a way to retrofit one to take the place of the other - the "coil" - or vacuum solenoid - in the cruise bleeds down the vacuum to decelerate or releases it to shut the cruise off. From the sound of it, the "switch" on the heater pump sounds like it is similar to the central locking pumps, where the pump will supply either vacuum or pressure depending on the state of the locks (ie - vac to lock, pressure to unlock). Is the central locking pump in the 5ktd still beside the battery under the back seat, or is this the cl pump? Cheers! Steve Sears

Sorry it took awhile to get back but checking other things out also on the car (found a broken hose and a disconnected one) This pump is for the heating system only as far as I know, as the locks still work you can hear the pump run ( I think that motor is under the pass seat). I took the old pump apart and am sure I can retrofit a cruise one if I can find one around here.

FYI The battery is located in the engine dept on the right front corner(behind headlights and top is about even with bottom of lights)

Would appreciate if you checked for the other vac.

Now trying to get the low speed fan to work.
