Where to find a re-buildable Vacuum Pump or just buy a Rockauto cheapie?

Hello, this is my first post on this board.

My 94 started spewing oil from underneath on the way home and I shut it down just as the oil gauge started pulsating. I got underneath and a drop motor oil landed on my forehead as I looked up at a small section of nice shiny metal (nothing on this truck is typically shiny). I pulled the vacuum and steering pump off to find part of the vacuum pump chunked out.

Obviously can't rebuild this one with the Cummins seal kit (4089742), so I started looking for used ones in the classifieds and ebay. Its hard to believe used ones could be so rare.

The standby is a new DORMAN Part # 904810 for $175 plus shipping. Probably a china part, its only saving grace is a lifetime warranty.

I would like to find a factory pump that I can put the $10 Cummins seal kit in, but its hard to justify paying a lot for a used pump that I need to tear apart. Should I just buy the new DORMAN and be done with it? Anyone have an old factory pump they want to sell for a reasonable $?

Buy the Dorman from rockauto i have one in my truck it does just fine. makes me feel even better compared to auto value at 340 dollars. Dorman is a decent brand i dont think you will have any problems with it.

Some duck tape sould get r done !!!! .. LOL

Maybe some bubble gum.... Jbweld ..LMAO!!!!!

Jk , Dorman is not too bad, get the Genuine if you can, expect to replace the droman about every 2-3 yrs ... my experience so far

Guys, thanks for the advise. I feel a little better about the Dorman. I'm taking care of a few additional items and plan to have the truck down for a little bit, so if anyone reading has a used factory pump they want to sell, shout at me. If not, I'll just buy the Dorman once I'm ready to button it back up. Thanks again.

Sounds like a good plan ... Might as well get it all summed up while your there ... better to do it now then stuck on the road side kickin rocks ... and your own a$$...
