Important Note:
This pump is NOT 100% same as the original pump for the 6.6L application (OE: 97656980). New pump will work in place of the original pump. It is totally identical to the original except for the location of the breather / fresh air line.
Installing this pump on a 6.6L will cause the breather line connector to be very close to the engine, but it is workable and will allow you to get your truck up and running!
Different from the previous version, The new pump has a longer snout and shaft allowing for more robust bearing support of the shaft and greater durability.
This pump technically can be retrofitted to trucks back to 2008 but will require use of a deep offset / dish type pulley.
Some upfitted trucks have an additional belt in front of the main factory serpentine belt to run other accessories such as hydraulic pumps. In these situations this new style vacuum pump won't work because the longer shaft physically interferes with the extra drive belt.
