Diesel Jim

My vacuum pump's failed abruptly and second time when it went it chewed up the timing gear, that is the reason I had to change the Timing gear. I don't think the redesigned V. pump requires a new timing gear. The ball etc are still sitting in the oil pan.

On another matter I do not have any engine or transmission leak, however I do have some minor fuel links that are coming from plastic fuel lines & Shut off valve, it only leaks when it get's real cold ( don't have too many of them in Dallas). I do need to change to viton O rings someday when I pull the intake which may be a long time since I deleted the EGR (Texas does not requires Diesel smog test).
