Re: 2000 Ford F250 Diesel air cond problems
that makes sense kinda what I was thinking---No problem with heat or cold when the temp is adjusted it gets hot & cold--I never paid any attention to the pump before does it kinda vibrate a little while running ? or what--It definitely IS running just not sure if its making vacuum---any way to test it and how much vacuum is normal?? thanx for the reply

Re: 2000 Ford F250 Diesel air cond problems
checked the hose nothing real apparent ---the pump was running while the engine was running ---how long is the pump supposed to run??---how much vacuum is this pump supposed to pull-- might just be a "worn out" pump hell its 15 years old-- just do not want to spend $45-60 bucks for a pump when its "only" a cracked leaking hose

Re: 2000 Ford F250 Diesel air cond problems
The search I found stated the vacuum pump should produce 17-21" of vacuum. If the damper is in defrost is also a sign of not enough vacuum. A cheap hand operated vacuum pump will diagnose a bad hose or damper diaphragm, and could be used to show what the vacuum pump is pulling. What is the brake pedal like?
