diesel's dont produce enough
As a diesel engine does not have a throttle valve in the air intake, no useable depression is created in the intake manifold. That is why diesel engines are fitted with vacuum pumps to operate the brake servo.
A gasoline engine makes it's own vacuum. The diesel engine has a vacuum pump next to the power steering pump.A gasoline engine makes it's own vacuum. The diesel engine has a vacuum pump next to the power steering pump.

7.3 Diesel has a vacuum pump.... belt driven
vacuum pump in a diesel, is a pump installed to create vacuum to assist in opreation of brakes in pickups tha have diesel engines, the brakes are same as any other pickup and use vacuum created by the ngine to operate. a diesel engine does not create vacuum, as a gasoline engine does. that is why there is a vacuum pump added to a small diesel engine on f250 the pump is belt driven, is on the driver side of engine, under the a/c compressor.
Diesel engines don't have vacuum because they don't have a throttle plate.
You must have a diesel. The vacuum pump is what gives you POWER BRAKES and on the newer engines it also makes the power steering work. Only a gas engine makes vacuum. A diesel engine does not make vacuum, so they install a vacuum pump.
Because a diesel engine does not create vacuum and the vacuum pump is necessary to operate things like the vacuum assist brakes and cruise control.
Technically, a diesel engine does not need any outside electrical source to keep it running. Injectors are mechanical and keep running until they are forced off, usually by a solenoid. Check the shutoff mechanism to make sure it isn't sticking. This diesel shuts off using vacuum. If your vacuum is low or leaking, the vehicle will not shut off using the key. You have to open the hood and push the SHUT OFF plate near the top of the engine in the fuel linkage. Vacuum leaks are common and will keep the door locks, climate control, and engine shut off from working. The shut off valve, located on the back of the injection pump, can fail. It is vacuum operated and the diaphragm can tear. Vacuum test this valve. If it holds vacuum keep looking for other vacuum leaks, if it leaks replace it.
