2001 F150 4x4 - vacuum reservoir location

Can anyone tell me where the vacuum reservoir is located on a 01 F150 4x4? I'm troubleshooting the 4wd not engaging want to check the reservoir. Any help would be appreciated

Between the battery and the inner fender.

Thanks everyone - I saw the line tucked behind the battery tray but couldn't see a reservoir. I''ll check again when it stops snowing !

IIRC, the reservoir is only about an inch thick,
and clips to the back side of the battery box.

So I finally had an opportunity to get into the 4wd issue of not engaging again. I found the vacuum linkage (shaft with notch that moves the differential fork) and the differential fork separated. I pulled the vacuum arm out and reconnected them. The arm that engages the differential is a little sloppy and can move front to back causing the linkage to separate. I see a pin sticking out of both ends where the differential fork is mounted. Is there a way to tighten that arm? That pin is hollow. I thought it was an allen but it doesn't seem to be. Any suggestions??

Edit - Adding picture
