    Received the Lisle 39000 kit last night. Definitely made better and only one tool needed to remove/install pulley. It was about $8 more than the Chinese made kit.

    Received larger kit, total junk. Tools look to be casted, many pits in between threads. Shipping it back today, ordered the Lisle 39000 instead.

    Here is puller at Summit. I paid $32 on Amazon for a larger kit. Yes, correct tool for the job. I hope AutoZone learned something.

    Drove to AutoZone in the next city and picked up the vacuum pump pulley. It cost $47.99, that's almost as much for the vacuum pump! Then went to O'Reilly and bought the power steering pump w/resovoir for $53.99. I'll check RockAuto for pressure hoses and return, maybe less expensive.

    Ouch, well the closest HF is about an hour drive, my luck the adapter needed will be the one HF didn't add to it, Lol I can still cancel order I guess, but if I buy the HF and not correct adapter, it'll be another 2 hour drive. I know, tuff decision.

    OK, ordered this one from Amazon, identical kits were a lot more money, others had less tools. I will buy the power steering pump from AutoZone, in stock with lifetime warranty. So I'll be using the new tool kit, will post here if it worked. Also need to order pressure line, figure might as well...

    Here is Link for it running, my son slowed the video down so you can see the pulley better. I think change it?

    I keep hearing chirps when turning wheels sharp or hitting turn stops. Been adding stop leak, think its time for power steering pump too, its original. So, looking at pulley puller kits. Any suggestions? Harbor Freight, Lisle, OTC, PowerBuilt?

    Update: AutoZone called a little past 10:00. Drove the 35 miles. They used a 3-prong puller and bent my pulley but didn't remove it. We walked to Ford dealer and they stated it takes a special tool to remove and install the pulley. So they did it and charged me $20. Installed new vacuum pump...

    The glow plug light stays on about 15 seconds. When the mech changed the hoses and "O" rings on the injectors, he said they were stamped 1997 if I recall correctly.

    Just used credit card and ordered a new air pump from AutoZone @ $142. It'll be there in the morning, they are about 35 miles from me. I'll buy new hose for it too, the old one is a bit stiff. Hopefully that fixes the break issue, I can't afford the master cylinder. Read online that most...

    Yes sir, about 250 live here, I chased one druggy with my diesel. The property I have behind my house is about 3 acres, was told they sell and do drugs back there. My dogs would fire up between 23:30 and 2. I'd go out with flash light and gun. Then 4 dogs died in 4 weeks poisoned, and a bit...

    OK, just checked. I followed the large hose to a diverter on firewall. Followed small hose to a diaphragm with 2 wires on right wheel well, started engine, then disconnected small hose from diaphragm and plugged it on to gauge, nothing. So I looked in the gauge kit and seen larger brass adapter...

    I will test with my vacuum gauge tomorrow then report back the findings. I'd pressure wash the engine but someone stole mine from next to my house. I've had animals stolen, poisoned and shot, let alone all the theft.

    Oh, OK, so "any" vacuum line is OK to test pump?

    Where do I connect it to test vacuum pump? That's a rather big hose on pump compared to vacuum lines on gas engine.

    With & Without Brakes

    What gauge and where did you connect it?
