- Quick fix to silence a squealing Vacuum Pump for the 2011 F150. This particular vacuum pump was recalled and is known to be problematic. The additional issue is that the recall only replaced the pump once and in many cases (including mine) it will fail again. My pump was still running but getting really loud. I read on F150forum that many people were using silicone spray to silence the squeal and delay the failure. I could not find a video for this so figured I would drop this for everyone's educational purposes.
I used Kroil for my spray, but you could use a host of others. Kroil is spendy stuff but is recognized by many people as the best there is. Amazon has a smaller can that drops the cost down or you can also use the non aerosol version do. Links below:
Kroil 10 oz spray can: amzn.to/3tbc1Kp
Kroil 8 oz drip can: amzn.to/3ZvvaCT
I assume no liability for you trying this out. If something blows up or fails on you then I am not responsible.
if you need to replace your vacuum pump there is a good deal I found out on Amazon for this pump - verify your model number as I understand that there may be some variation between the Canadian and US trucks but here is that link:

I wish you made this back in 2020. But I’ll take it in 2024. Thanks for the money, saving tip.
Thank you! I replaced this back in 2020. I don’t want to buy it at this moment .This works👍🏻
Brother your about to save me some money thank you
So glad that I could help out! Let us know how long it lasts. I am going on a year since my fix.

Thanks for sharing. This fix is working!
Happy that it worked for you! Simple fix to keep some $$ in your wallet!
Great video thanks. You don't have to take the yellow clip out though, you just push on it from the back and it releases. It is horseshoe-shaped, just push on the round centre of the horseshoe then gently pull the vacuum tube off. When the two ends of the horseshoe spread apart, the clip releases. I used both silicone and WD40 spray in there and it seems to be a lot quieter. *edit you don't have the recalled part installed. the new part has a black plastic housing and yours is still aluminum. Maybe the dealer didn't actually perform the replacement? The black plastic one still fails though eventually.
Interesting. The dealer stated that they performed the recall. I will have to follow up. Do you have more details on the differences between the old and replacement pumps?
@@dtchild81 you can see the difference in this video (I put the wrong link in an earlier comment) ua-cam.com/video/sxo2QVwbDkI/v-deo.html The other video is a replacement of a replacement. This video shows the original aluminum part vs. the newer plastic part. 5:39
Gosh, I looked on Amazon here in Canada, and a new one is $140 for a new pump...for all the work to get to it, perhaps putting a new one in is a better option!
@powerstroke98 - I haven't seen a pump for that price. If you can find one it may be worth a shot. Let us know if you are successful!
@@danielchild3060 If you open Google, and type in 'Vacuum pump for 2016 F150 pickup' (my year of truck) a whole list of them comes up, from under $140. to $175. Even doing a search at Autozone, the one for my truck was $146. & change.
the 2013+ ones are cheap and small the 2011/12's are like $500+
@@tomcompoli Yep the 2013+ are mechanical and run off the engine, the 11/12s are electric and aren't interchangeable.
