The problem child here is a 1999 F250 turbo diesel 4x4 with about 120k on the clock.
The electric vacuum pump blew a couple of fuses and then finally went out a week or so ago and we got a used one to replace it. The 'new' pump was tested before we left the yard, and it seemed to work. When installed it ran up once or twice then died. Died completely. The fuse has been checked and is ok.
Has anoyme else run up agtainst this problem? If so what is the solution you have come up with. It needs to be repaired because it's 90+ degrees and the AC isn't working.
My personal preference would be to drive it off into the river or set it afire, but you know how men are about their trucks!
TIA
