    Imagine dealing with this vacuum issue without a schematic and an angry spouse who likes heat and air in the truck? Your spot on with the answers I needed on the vac. System, and the repair. Thanks

      Thank you sir, Though I feel quite the opposite. The last half decent video i posted I was at 1000 subs, and now we've almost tripled that. Holly Cow!!! When I started I as using a crappy video camera that only shot 360 video. But I've been fortunate enough that the youtube earnings have been able to pay for better cameras and hard drives. So if youtube is something you wanna do, I say go for it boss. Your phone camera probably shoots decent enough video. And because we're talking how-tos, I feel that people will sit through a slightly less perfessional video, if the content is there.

    Thank you for the video! The 4wd and interior vents were not working in my 98 12v and I feared it was something serious. Turns out the main vaccum line was unplugged from the vacuum pump. Used your video to find the pump and fixed it all in under 10 seconds. Thank you!!

    One of the best "how-to", "how-does-it-work", "what-is-it" videos I've ever seen! You not only have a knack for making entertaining and informative on-line videos, you seem to be a great mechanic. And, how did you know my vacuum line fell out of the clip and melted on the exhaust manifold? Amazing! Now I just need to find a replacement and reconnect it. Thank you big time!

    • @CumminsWorks
      @CumminsWorks  7 років тому

      Thank you Sir. I've seen the vacuum line come unclipped a couple times, so while it's not super common, it's definitely a known problem. I'll be honest, when I started reading your comment, I thought it was the typical 'Butter-him-up-before-asking-a-question' technique. But then I got to the end and there was no question! I can't Thank you enough for the psychological booster that your Comment gave. If I had to try it would it would probably overload youtube's servers, so I won't.
      If you have any questions or video suggestions please shoot them my way!
      Take care!

      It’s very important a vacuum leak can result in excessive crankcase pressure and make the tappet cover leak and possibly create oil leaks elsewhere

  • @HWPcville
    @HWPcville 6 років тому +6

    I've posted this comment on other videos but hopefully it will help someone. My defroster was stuck in the on position which was due to a vacuum leak. The leak was in the small vacuum line that passes by the transmission dipstick handle. The embossed letters "TRANSMISSION" on the handle has sharp corners and over time wore a hole in the vacuum line where it touched. It was just by luck I found the leak as it was on the hidden backside of the hose. I felt it but never saw it. I taped over it and it worked again.

    Thank you. My line going to HVAC controls was broken, right where it goes through the firewall. I spent hours trying to find where it came through. I never would have found it if nt for your picture showing it alongside the AC lines.
    Thankfully there was just enough still sticking through, for me to grab it with needle nose pliers, and put a rubber hose onit, to reattach.

    Great video! Any suggestion on HVAC only vacuum issue I have?
    All other vacuum controlled functions work but vents are stuck on defrost. I replaced the actuator on driver side with no luck and air only comes out of vents if I physically pull actuator arm down. Wouldn’t a leak cause other issues other than vents too? Thanks!

    • @CumminsWorks
      @CumminsWorks  6 років тому

      in a lot of cases, the vacuum pump can outflow a leak, so if the line that feeds the HVAC is disconnected, then the pump will outflow the leak so everything else is still getting vacuum, but the HVAC won't work.

    I’m trying to bypass the actuator for 4wd. Can I pull off the black line and cap it?
    I want to use 2wd lo. So transfer case in low with the actuator disengaged. I’m assuming if I pull the black vacuum line and cap it, it will just remain disengaged but I’m not sure if it will cause a vacuum leak on the red line. Thanks

That being said, we're all waiting on some parts from wagler that should spice things up a little.

I am trying to replace hoses with black rubber hose !! I have no idea what hose goes where van starts full pedal barely runs let off the pedal it dies hissing and stinks of gas & exhaust I need a drawing or diagram of Mopar engine where hoses going to the purge solenoid and the other 2 components next to it Any help would be appreciated

    • @CumminsWorks
      @CumminsWorks  6 років тому +1

      I would test for vacuum on the black line, make sure it has vacuum in 4x4, if it does, then it's likely the actuator, if not then try putting it in 2wd and check the red line for vacuum. Could be the vacuum switch on top the T-case isn't working, or the actuator is broken.

    • @CumminsWorks
      @CumminsWorks  5 років тому

      Sounds like you're on the right track. If the vacuum line is broken down by the trans/axle, it's possible that everything else (cruise control, vents) will still work. It's also possible that your vacuum switch on the tcase isn't working, or the CAD actuator is bent.

    @num1fireman 6 років тому +1

    Great vid, It didn't help me with my prob though. 99 2500 cummins, 512k miles, I have had since new. My climate control issue is, nothing works. The Truck sat for about a year while I was over seas working, came back and got it running again with a little effort, but the climate control is completely dead, like its not plugged in. it doesn't do anything. I checked electric coming in to the switch, it has 13+v, and if I jumper the low pressure safety, with the switch off, the AC Clutch compressor will not engage, if the switch is on, the clutch will engage, so the Dash Switch is getting power. I also Checked the blower motor it has 13v at the plug, and I jumped a line from the battery to the motor and it came on fine. I also Checked the Vacum in the engine bay, and at the dash switch its got 29 hg while running but drops off as soon as the engine is shut down, so there is a leak, but it should still have enough to run the system. I went to the Junkyard and got a whole new Dash switch and same thing...So it has power, vac and the blower motor works, but.... nothing works... any suggestions?

    • @CumminsWorks
      @CumminsWorks  6 років тому

      Try checking for codes, while these things don't throw many, it may throw one for the cruise control circuitry. I sounds like either the wiring/cruise control servo is faulty, and the computer is seeing this and disabling it again.

      Yes it does, it goes to the cruise control solenoid that's also located under the battery tray. It can be kinda interesting to get to. Thanks! And yes, the pringles can. haha. People kept asking if it was chipped, so I figured why not! My chips are even stacked! They're the special "low fat" model for extra weight savings too.

    Looking at a 2001 24 valve. The guy says 4wd, cruise control, and climate controls aren’t working due to a vaccum leak. I know that the trans has been build could it be that the lines weren’t put back on causing the leaks to everything or does it sound more like the main line from the vacuum?

    • @kingbob1376
      @kingbob1376 5 років тому

      Jakem34 the lines are frail enough at this age that simply flexing them can cause them to crack. Honestly vacuum issues are easy enough to track down in these trucks I wouldn’t be very concerned purchasing one with one.
