vacuum pump

[jag7720]

Is there a better vacuum pump to get? I see a range from $100 to $500

OR can I rebuild mine?

 

[Westech]

get the $100 rebuilt one from orileys or autozone. Thats the one I got and it works great!

Westy, can you post up a part number and brand?

Really depends on what you're trying to do.
When I started in appliance repair I just used a compressor out of a junk refrigerator.
Worked fine!

Umm..... a vacuum pump for a cucv. Controls the trans shift points.

Never mind.
I thought maybe you were working on air conditioning. Never even seen a cucv up close, let alone worked on one.

If you opt to go used I can do a good/used pump for $50.00 shipped to your door. Just a thought

Another thing to try would be local junkyards. Whenever I'm in one and I see a truck with a 6.2 diesel and an automatic, I grab odd parts like that, just in case. They're usually dirt cheap.

In the 7 years I have lived in KC I have never seen a diesel in the yards.

They're out there, the 6.2 wasn't common, but it wasn't/isn't exactly rare, either. We have a couple yards here that tend to specialize more in trucks/SUVs and almost always have a couple 6.2s or 6.5s, just a recommendation to keep an eye out if you're there. If not, it's not a big deal, since pretty much everything for a CUCV can be had off the shelf at any auto parts store. It's just cheaper to get scrap yard stuff.

Very helpful, thanks. The part number was exactly what I needed to find it efficiently. My '95 Land Rover Discovery has a Hummer 6.2 in it and the rear vacuum pump had a terrible leak. This should do the trick. Yes, it has both types of pumps installed.
