    I don't have access to the truck right now. Is there a way to tell if my engine has the vacuum pump or not? Does the VIN specify it somehow? Thanks

    The vaccum pump is only used for the brake booster. If you have anything below an OR you have a vaccum pump. The ORs and pros have upgraded electric brake boosters for their ATRAC systems so no vaccum pump.

    As indicated above, since you have an SR5 your truck has the vacuum pump system for the brakes.

    Vacuum (pictured). The electrics found on OR and Pro do not have the round canister.
