http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-OEM-Vacuum-pump-Ford-Powerstroke-96-02-7-3L-1996-2002-E250-E350-F250-/281335105871?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4180e1094f&vxp=mtr#ht_718wt_662It is on the front drivers side of the engine,by the air conditioner compressor, run by the serpinetine belt. Not to hard of a job, but you will need the pully puller that is designed for the pully that is used on the vacuum pump, and the power steering pump. And that same tool is used to install the pully on the new pump. You can't press or pound the pully on, as it will destroy the new pump.

I'm on my second cheapo from o'reilly. Both times it (the pump) went out, it seized. The first time I was almost home, and the serpentine belt seemed fine. The second time the belt was noticeably worn so I got to replace it along with the pump.
