Hi guys

I'm sitting here making my parts list , yesterday I did my KDP and my seal for my vacume pump ... all that turned out great , eccept for the fan bearing I have to track down one of those and a fan clutch .

I'm making my parts list , since I have the cooling system down I was wondering about the themostats in the cummins ... should I get another for preventive maintance...I have 155,000 on the truck .

I have 3 local cummins dealers near me , I am going to hit my local auto parts dealer for all the rad hose's and belt ... I get list price , but I hope cummins can get me that block bearing .

Thanks Guys

Any time I open up a cooling system I replace the tstat - it's just good practice. So if I were you I would be stopping by the ole parts store and getting a replacement one.

How was the vacuum seal replacement I think mine is leaking from the vacuum pump. I bought a kit off Ebay for replacement but have been to lazy to pull out the DVD instruction kit with it and watch it yet.

Hi Travis

The pump was not that bad ... But I did have the whole front of the motor apart ... I only bought the one seal main shaft seal ...I did buy the viton which is good for 400 degree's , if you do a seach you will find the part #.

The pump it self is pretty easy , it's just a vain pump , kind-a like the turbo heaters , just be very careful pressing in the main seal , I machined a custom driver out of aluminum to press in my seal .

Later
