Well after reading all of these for a while I thought to myself. Ah what the hell. I ran a catch can on my 2015 Sierra 5.3 and spliced a tee into the vacuum line that goes to the intake manifold. My b

Electric vacuum pump en route. I ordered a CVR VP655 from Summit and it will be here next week.

 

That is a very nice pump. says it is for booster only, no crank case. And I see it is a few bucks. Hope you used a discount code!

Racers get 10-25% discount. In fact 2 codes are post up for today. Oh well so how you going to hook it up. Easiest would be booster to pump. But I have to think there is a safety valve or a pressure cut out. Then GM plugs to the factory block holes and remove factory pump. New belt and all done.
Very interested in results and pictures.

Pressure cuts off at 20 inches. Unit automatically turns on when it drops to 15 inches, I’m gonna confirm with a gauge prior to install since it can be adjusted if needed. The quality of this pump is superb. All electrical connections are potted. Machining is spot on. Very clean and well executed final product. Inside its box, the product was held securely in place with form fit rigid foam. Summit did a good job with their packaging too, but I’m impressed the manufacturer also took steps to assure the product was secured as well as it was. Totally worth the price.

I’m connecting the CVR directly to the booster. It has a relay wire for the ignition so no need to worry about the pump running when the vehicle is off. A side benefit of this is that I will retain brake boost even if the vehicle stalls for one reason or another as long as the key is still in the on position.

After I remove the stock vacuum pump, I will be using the oil galleys to feed my bypass filter using two brass Bosch 12mm-1.75 male to 1/8NPT female threaded adapters. Then use my 1/8NPT to -04AN hardware and steel jacketed hose to connect to the bypass. I’ll definitely be posting pics.

What thread locker is safe to use on the threads being bolted into the engine oil galleys? I’m thinking a medium thread locker with high temp stability that can be allowed to dry on the threads prior to install. Ideas?

I like the blue thread lock but in the paste. Looks like a glue stick. Same about product as GM has on there bolts. But depending on threads like non npt. You need teflon tape not pipe tape. And then try to get a torque wrench on them even though it isn't needed and uses a low torque gm specs it and it is peace of mind.
I question the port size being large enough. I would think it is better to have a remote dual filter, with the pickup on the stock location.

Best would just be a dry sump off a lt4 or after market system. And one could get multiple chambers. Say 4 for pan oil, one for air/vacuum, and one for my turbo drain. But the price is the same as a new motor.

just looked at my truck. Noticed the pump runs of it's own belt. I want to see what the GM part is for the electric pump. 

The GM part for the corvette electric pump is a Hella pump in AC Delco packaging.

 

I saw the independent belt today also. Should be an easy delete. Found a great mounting location for the pump just above the plastic engine guard on the frame in front of the mechanical vacuum pump. I’m off to the store to buy rust reformer and some other items to address the rust on my frame before I mount the pump. I’m also going to connect the CVR pump relay to the instrument panel circuit. Seems to be a good choice for always being on when the ignition is on.

 

I spent quite a few hours today reading more than I ever wanted to know about Loctite. Thanks for the heads up about not using it on coarse threads. Turns out there are a lot of variables in choosing the right thread locker for the type of connection, metal, thread size, etc... In the end I decided I’m going to use PTFE thread tape.

 

The oil galleys should be sufficient to supply the bypass considering the return port on the filter base is very small. Perhaps a larger supply would be ideal, but I’m gonna try this for now and see how it works. ad2929861164e24aa909f23aae08e0f6.jpg

I stripped the frame wax then painted the frame member where it’s attached. I used all stainless steel hardware. I’ll post up all of the parts and tools needed once I’m finished getting everything hooked up.

What about using one of these for crank case and brake booster?

Yes but issue would be oil. A inline catch can may resolve that.

I thought about using my factory vacuum pump for crank case vacuum and installing a relief valve set to about 10-15 inches. I’m not sure what additional strain that would put on the oil pump fighting against crank vacuum on a stock engine so for now I’m not going to do that.

Im not sure electric pumps are the best choice for crank vacuum. It seems that a mechanical pump can increase its CFM output as engine RPM’s increase. I would think this is needed as more CFMs need to be moved to maintain vacuum at higher RPMs and less at lower RPMs. Perhaps an electric pump could do this but the mechanical pump seems more intuitive.

You are very correct belt drive pumps. Are common on race cars. And it is to get negative pressure, that helps the piston rings and oil. On max output race engine I saw 40-60fwhp increase. Race cars dont have power brakes. We and many others tried out gm electrical emission pumps as they can be had cheap or free. And they burn up.

Is the brass and black object on the bottom of the pump assembly, the vacuum switch/solenoid? Does it have a part number? I've been looking for a good vacuum switch/solenoid for my pump setup. I purchased a Cadillac ATS pump for under $100 on Amazon that had good reviews for our similar uses.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
