I saw a quote from Craig, so I know he's posting in this thread- I cannot see spending the money these parts cost for a design flaw. I don't care who built it, it has a design flaw, and the possibility of timing-chain-destroying debris is a pretty damn big flaw.
I'll probably do this swap and post pics, I just need to get another pump.

Your engine, your money, your time. Have a ball.

I have the same Gast in the link!

The "Vacuum 300TD (Video)" thread above got me thinking about electric vacuum pumps.

They're made for the brakes. As such, the hysteresis is set to a wide range, like 5" Hg (15"-20"). So your transmission is going to get a varying vacuum input at the same foot-feed position.

Pretty much rules out using one of these units on our cars, if you ask me.

Do all 606s use this Vacuum Pump or is it only after certain years.

Definitely the turbos. 95s use the lever type. 96-97 are split.

My '96 does not.

I'm not sure an electric vacuum pump would be able to handle my usage. Depending on the terrain, I could be on and off the brakes ten times inside 20 feet, so I would even be giving the stock vacuum pump a real workout, beyond what it's designed to handle. This could go on for a little while, or all day depending on where I am.

The Japanese Diesel engines used an alternator with a splined shaft out the rear that drives a Vacuum pump. It is lubed with engine oil by a small hose.

I have this on my 82 Datsun SD-22 engine.

I tried to copy and paste the pic, but didn`t work, so here you go.

I had one on my Trooper TD, and man is that thing expensive. The alternator by itself was $150 with a $60 core in 2002, it's probably more now. The vacuum pump was not available then, so if you can find one now it's sitting in a junkyard.

Toyota offered a diesel Camry for a few years in the late '80s. Those had a vacuum-pump driven off the back of the alternator
At the shop where I worked until the mid '90s, we needed an alternator for an '87 Camry diesel. All our suppliers kept sending us gas-Camry alternators. Finally, we had to order a new one from the Toyota dealer for more than $300, plus about $100 for the integral regulator that wasn't included with the dealer-alternator.
Good luck finding Toyota-diesel parts today!

Happy Motoring, Mark

Here's the pump as-installed on an 88 7.3:

The line looped up at the top is the vacuum line. There are no oil lines, no connection to the internals of the engine and the pump mounts to a bracket that pivots on two bolts with a square cutout for a 3/8" ratchet to tension it. About as simple as you can get, and I'm sure it will be easy to adapt.

I've seen a belt driven vacuum pump on older mercedes diesels, i think it was a 220D. The pump was mounted on the drivers side right where the power steering pump is on the 617.

The belt driven idea is a good one but I took a quick peek under the hodd and I do not see any room.

The only direction there is any space is where the Power Steering Pump is. A double Pulley could be put on the Power Steering Pump and if you could find a short enough belt the Vacuum Pump could be mounted to the side and slightly under the PS Pump.

Where the Bracket for the V Pump would attach???
