Well I narrowed my problem down to the ignition switch is screwed and have bin driving it that way for about a month now, yesterday the 2 yr. old vac pump went kapoot :WTF::mad2: I swear this is the test do I love this diesel more than my wife, cause she's barely hanging in there, had to hide the keys to the gun cabinet's. The wrong movement, or say the wrong thing and it'll be a burnt out hulk of scrap metal on the driveway. Which doesn't help it's parked next to my '51 which also has wiring problems. Down to driving my '76 New Yorker with the 440 and needs a new carb badly. Just to top it off tax season and no cash!

Can I rebuild this? Is really necessary? I might have seen something on here about it but it's been awhile and I'm under a little stress so thinking straight isn't easy.

Sorry if I missed your OP, but what are your symptoms and how did you narrow it down to the ignition switch?

95's have been said to have that problem.

What problem......Stalling?

 

[tanman_2006]

Ign switches, it seems like I read somewhere that 95's were prone to failure. I was told this when diagnosing a problem on mine awhile back iirc.

No start condition or some other problem?.......What are the symtoms?

 

[tanman_2006]

Mine was a code (dont remember which one it was a year ago), no start at times and other times it started fine. Mine was just a gound that lost its bolt but I just remember it was suggested that my ignition was likely bad because 95's had some problem. You might be able to fine the thread at the other site which I used to frequently visit.

Please let OP answer based on his issue????

As for the Vacuum Pump, you can replace it but if I were you, I just get a mechanical wastegate aka Turbo Master. If you are handy with fabricating stuff, you can make it yourself.
Or if you want to purchase one, you can contact Heath Diesel.

The price of buying a new Vacuum Pump and TurboMaster from Heath is about the same.

The benefit of TurboMaster is no need to worry about Vacuum Pump and all the lines lead to the turbo.
Never have to replace VP again every 2 years.
There are other benefits also but that is the greatest for this type of issue.

Also before doing anything else, you need to trouble shoot it properly. Like making sure that the lines are not leaking, etc.

The brand new tight belt squeals to beat hell and the vacuum pump pulley sits still, tried to turn it by hand but it's solid lump of scrap. I am handy with the tools, so I'm gonna find a spring and a chunk of rod with a chunk of metal and a turbo gauge and a sorter belt and get rid of it forever. It only supplies the turbo actuator and the egr crap. 1 7/8 frost plug in the bottom intake and hog out the upper make this run smoother.
