A couple more questions for the pros

Man you guys are great, i havent had to ask any questions in a while, i just read the posts that are up here. My first question is what is the part number or at least the offical name for the brake vacume pump for the 94 f350? I cant seem to find this part at any of the diesel part websites, at least not with that name for it. Also, just wondering if when the vacume pump starts to go it would cause the calipers to sort of stick ( mybe not enough vacume or something), and not release all the way. Its not like the brakes are locking up or anything, its just that sometimes the front brakes squeak and squeak and squeak, and no brake be quite stuff works, and pads and calipers were changed about 1200 miles ago.

The second question is does anybody have any good recomendations for stabalizer bar bushings for the front and rear (bar bushings, and endlink bushings)? Didnt know if any aftermarket companys made any for our trucks.

Ohh yeah and one other quick question about why i cant for the life of me get any of my truck pics to upload into the gallery here, does anybody know any tricks??

Thanks

The vacuum pump should have anything to do with the calipers sticking but brake hoses or master cylinder could as well as the pads or caliper binding in the mount. This especially in the 94.5 model where it still uses the wedge slides. I would take the calipers off and the pads off and clean all the rust off and use brake grease to coat both ends of the pads and the wedges for the caliper. then see where you stand.

The vacuum pump is called just that.

Say bar bushings not sure. If Napa, advanced..... don't have them then Ford would be the only place

Pics upload not sure. I like to use Webshots much more than the FTE gallery just cause its easier to use and can be used on other sites
