Have a 94 F150 4.9 L truck (110k mi.) with factory A/C and P/S. This truck is equipped with an OEM (EPA required) smog/air emissions pump that is known to sometimes fail due to age/wear. My EPA required smog/air pump seems to be okay for now, but as I understand reliable replacement/rebuilt smog/air pumps (EPA required) can be hard to locate for this particular application. Can any members provide recommendations/guidance on procuring a spare EPA required smog/air pump?
94 Ford F150 4.9 L smog pump
- Thread starter Electromotive
- Start date
Does it have to work or does it just have to be there? I ask because our emissions inspection where I am are just visual but in other parts of my state they are sniffed.
In my locale it does not have to be there/installed. No sniff in my locale either thankfully.
I would try cruising salvage yards. Looks like the only aftermarket offering is from A1Cardone and it is on backorder. Long gone from Ford/Motorcraft as well.
Can you adapt one from a V8?
Same issue, disco duck from Ford and intergalactic backorder through A1 Cardone.
I found one on the 3rd try:

Bah! Never mind. Out of stock on checkout.

Have not been able to find an idler pulley/bracket mount for my application, so my next option would be a different/shorter belt if my smog pump does eventually fail (no doubt due to age/wear).

The one on my 88 with 260k is still sitting there doing its thing.. Don't think its something you need to worry about to much
You have a 31-year-Old Vehicle, if your Smog Pump has lasted 31 years you really have nothing to worry about. It looks like you got the best Smog Pump from 1994.
I suggest looking at your state's regulations w/r to emissions and older vehicles like yours. For example in VA you can get a waiver if the repair exceeds a certain value on an older vehicle.

I woulda let you have mine, but that was decades ago. Try fullsizebronco.com, seems a lot of those guys are still building for trail use and if they haven't grown tired of tripping over the air pump on their floor, you could probably have it for a song.
I'm not familiar with the 300 serp routing, but I'd look at a shorter belt. Obviously, only for ag/private property use.

There is one on fleabay. Last one in the world and he knows it.

I bet that the innards are all the same. Usually the vanes get too short and fall out of place then that locks the pump up .
Might want to grab a few from picapart. One to practice on and a couple others for parts you can rob.
