Exclamation HELP! Vacuum line issues?

Hey guys. I have a 06 f350 6.0L Diesel

I am having trouble locating my issue. My heat is only blowing from the defrost vents and floor vents. I have checked my lines around the resevoir, going to the pump, checked the pump as well, mostly all the lines going under the car i think(a diagram would be great) even replaced a line going to the hub. I checked the #24 and #27 fuses. Any other suggestions? Thanks

If you have heat going to the floor then you may have a door problem.
As I understand it the default is the defrost not the floor. The easy to
check is with a vacuum gauge and see if it holds or not.

Thanks a tonne i figured out that the problem is the 4x4 solenoid. Now the concern I have with this is that I just got that solenoid just replaced.....

Just this past weekend I discovered a vacuum leak in the control valve for the auto locking hubs. I just plugged off that line until I can get a new control valve.

The 4x4 solenoid is on passenger side engine compartment
near to the vacuum pump on side. Look at the pump and then
look back towards the heater fan you should see it there.
It could just have a bad line.
