Vacuum pump issue I think

There appears to be 28 psi at the vacuum pump which exceeds the minimum of 25.

 

That sounds more like it since you are located near sea level.  The vanes in those pumps are lubed with a dedicated engine oil line.  This is why those vacuum pumps are so efficient and why they rarely fail.

 

Good to hear you have it fixed and the solution was simple.

Fortunately corrosion is not a massive issue here. My truck has zero rust. It was started its life in Oceanside, CA was in Kingman Arizona for a bit and now back to Cali.
