And spraying any kind of a solvent in the vacuum line can wash the oil off the vanes in the vacuum pump and may cause an early demise. The handy little brake bleeder/vacuum tester found the vacuum leak on my brake booster and on the vacuum hose off the pump in about twenty minutes and $175.00 later.

[QUOTE=Floorit4x4;1284634]or take a little carb cleaner fluid and start spraying and when you hear a change in the engine sound your close
That's funny.
Wannadiesel put it very nicely, IMHO.
Diesels don't make vacuum; that's why they have vacuum pumps.
Hey, at least you learned something Floorit.

[QUOTE=GLHS;1289266]Floorit, maybe your 1st diesel should've been a 1st gen., where you could have been made more familiar with the workings of a mechanical style engine, instead of your 3rd gen.

stupid question #295 is the chassis wiring diagram in the Haynes (for gassers) the same. My cruise is DEAD. Its the only gremlin i got left (so far)

Mostly. Anything to do with the drivetrain is different.

Well, thanks for the help guys. I think that you were right, it was a vaccum leak. Some of the small hoses after the brake cylinder were dry and cracked where they were fastened, and some did not have clamps. I think that I sealed the leak, wherever it was. I tried the cruise out and it worked great!

One question, what is the small thing in the fender that one of the vaccum lines goes to?

bigragu

low vaccum warning switch

BRUISER

another part to his question:

does nyone sell a complete vaccum line replacement kit or do we just need to go and buy a bunch and start swapping it out??

wannadiesel

Just buy hose.

MJDiesel

I suppose that if there was a kit, hose would still be much cheaper!

thanks Wanna, I'm just wondering about body wiring and the like.
