Well, I cannot say all parts are overpriced.
Being a drafting and design major I have a really broad view of how things are made.
But when these things are made by 10 companies and are just a few crap parts slapped together, my 130 dollars for a vacuum pump should last more than 2 years.

would work if you do hydroboost... I wouldn't trust it for the brakes...

EDT: some vehicles already have this... but I think it's more expensive.

One day I will get off my azz and go hydroboost.... And I will use an SD vacuum pump and eliminate that joke that they call a vacuum pump on our trucks... I've changed that piece of junk 4 times now and I'm getting sick of it. LOL

The PO never changed it and he bought it at 88k miles.
