well i replaced my vacuum pump about a week ago then the other day driving my truck i start getting this squealing and griding noise followed by a loud clunk noise. i pulled over and found my vacuum pump in about 3 pieces, it appears one of the bearing failed and basically snapped the casting. got it exchanged for free and the new one is back in so far so good. must have been assembled on a Friday just before shift change.

 

Ya, or you got the mechanic that smokes crack for a hobby. that's pretty bad.
At lease they replaced it.

 

I supposed it was reman , and no new right?, what brand or where did you buy it?

 

Yea, I would like to know that also, mine is going south too.

 

i got it from o-rileys auto parts i don't recall the manufacturer. i think it was just a kind of freak thing i don't expect it to happen again, i replaced it again with the same part from the same manufacturer we will see how long this one lasts.

 

Ok, thank you let us know.

 

well so far iv put about 50 miles on the new pump and all is still good. iv got about 200 miles of driving to do tomorrow. the first one i put on had an ever so slight squeaking noise from the door. this one does not.

 

450 miles on the new pump now and no issues yet.

 

I got mine at NAPA have about 5k on it now, no problems. It was a reman pump.
