Vacuum pump delete towing

[Willard Burnight]

Can't seem find anything pertaining to doing a vacuum pump delete with the affects on towing. I have a 19ft center console boat that I tow and was wondering if deleting the vacuum pump will after braking while towing. 2018 Silverado 1500. Thanks

I don't have any 1st hand knowledge on this but without the vacuum pump you don't have any power brakes! I would think that this would be a very bad idea. Why would you want to?

Deleting the vacuum pump will affect braking...period.  Towing or not.  Especially post reprogramming for vacuum pump failure (if the pump fails the ABS steps in to assist since you no longer have full vacuum boost).  

 

Even the cars that use the LT1 6.2 (Camaro and Corvette for example) have a vacuum booster but on those its electronic rather than an engine mounted belt driven pump.
