Have replaced powersteering pump on my 2001 Dodge Ram Quad. 2500 4X4 and cannot stop the leak between the Drive Spline and Vacuum Pump Drive. I believe that I need to replace the Oil Seal on the Vacuum Pump Drive. Does anyone know where I can find to purchase this seal? Dodge tells me that I have to buy the whole seal kit at $79.00. Expensive for one seal!

Has anyone else experianced this problem with oil leaking? It's just a drip while the motor is running but I don't want any drips.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

 

Theres vacuum pump seal rebuild kits from cummins that are cheap. Theres also a guy that advertises on ebay with a DVD and some PVC seal tools. Pretty cheap too. Not 100% if this is for late 2nd gen or not.
I did the rebuild on mine and it went pretty easy

 

I got this kit: http://www.fixinrams.com/id21.html
Same guy as on eBay. The seal is an updated design that accounts for if the shaft has a groove worn in it from the old seal. Comes with the tools and a video on how to do it. Made the job a breeze, except I wish he would have reminded me to take the oil pressure switch connector loose, as I broke off the tab that holds the plug in when I did mine. This is YOUR reminder, if you have the engine oil pressure switch right behind the PS pump.
