Anybody know if there's a check valve other than one on brake booster?

are you saying the hose collapsed and you lost vacuum ?? There was vacuum at the motor end of the hose, but not the brake booster end ?

This air hose has a plastic core so I'm positive it's not collapsed. I'm trying to see if theirs a another check valve stuck somewhere else

the other end of the hose goes to the intake manifold or a fitting on it... Start the motor and see if there is vacuum at the fitting.. if not, remove it from the manifold. You have to have vacuum INSIDE the manifold or truck would not be running.

where does the hose connect to the manifold ? There must be some type fitting in the manifold that the hose clamps onto ? Maybe I don't understand, but why pull the manifold at this time ? Why not poke a thin screwdriver into the fitting and see if it is plugged or can the fitting be unscrewed from the manifold ?

May have to pull intake to see if something else came unplugged. Still unsure why brakes aren't working

Did you unplug (and forget to reconnect) your IMRC motor when the manifold was off?
