Vacumn pump

How hard is it to change the vacumn pump on a 96 powerstroke? Is there a writeup any where? any suggestions?

Really easy, You just need a puller to pull the pulley and press it back on.

I did mine a few weeks back. Expensive for the pump, but kinda needed.

Are you having braking issues?
I lost my brakes when mine went bad.
Otherwise you could just have a vacuum leak.

Well my ebrake light is intermittantly coming on and going off, when it comes on it kicks off my cruise control........someone on here suggested the vacumn pump.

Brakes work fine so far......it is just that dang light and the cruise control thingy

The brake light comes on when there is a brake error.

Could just be the sensor on the master cylinder though as well.
