Sell me your junk pump if you're going to replace with an idler.

Thanks for the offer and the confirmation. I'm probably going to keep the smog pump at this point. Even though i dont have to pass emissions here, I still have all the stock CA truck emissions mess. I wont be spending 700 at $SOR... I may replace with Cardone for now then tuck away the old one for a rebuild at some point. I'll just put it next to my OEM power steering pump that leaked like a sieve.

Since this is a sticky and soon I will be a 60 owner in CA... Actually, @Rusto 's 60. Thanks cuz, for keeping all the smog goodies!

I have had very good luck with B-Z rebuilders re-doing smog pumps. They claim to have the good stuff and some kind of secret sauce to re-vane a factory Toyota pump.

I always prefer to have the original part rebuilt rather than get a Cardone or other "rebuilt" part from the parts store. Thankfully SoCal has lots of places that do this kind of thing.
