Maybe a bad tang coupler from the start or what? The p/s pump looks new. Being from the electric motor business it just appears awfully strange to shear tangs when no apparent stress is evident on the assembly. Is this correct or does the p/s pump have times to where it incurrs an exessive amount of force at 70 degrees F ambient temp.?

This was my exact thinking however the tangs being sheared are on the power steering pump side of the vac pump which means the p/s pump had to lock up to cause this. FYI WABCO is the mfg of the vacuum pump which is owned by American Standard (a very large toilet mfg) which leads me to classify their vac pump as a P.O.S.
ps my truck is still down I am just trying to make light of a nasty problem.

Just ordered a pump from NAPA/ Genuine Parts for $413.00 with a $38.00 core. For anyone with these issues: The 1st dealership quoted me $1820 for a reman. then said he could cut it down to $1400. The 2nd dealership screwed up and quoted me "their cost" of $1100 both with $100 core. It is really disturbing to know that someone will take my core and replace a $5 coupling and resell it for up to $1820. Cummins states that it is a Dodge part which explains all of the warranty issues. Anyone wanna buy a truck with a new vac and steering pump?? I know it seems nuts to sell it but I did not buy the truck to have to go through this after only 45k miles.

new vac pump and new p/s pump is in so far so good. did not want to take the chance of doing it again with the old p/s pump so i went ahead with the new one. total cost wound up under $500. alot better than the $2000+ from a dealer. Whitey is back
