Ok...call this pointless...

Helped my friend hook up his subs (he had no idea how to do it lol), in return he gave me a vacuum gauge he had, he was gonna put it in his car, but decided not to since it didn't really match.

So I have this vacuum gauge. It only measures vacuum 0-30inHg, no boost or anything.

So I'm like what the heck might as well put it to some good use. So what's a vacuum source in the truck somewhere, preferably that changes a lot and obviously reads somewhere between 0-30inHg. I was thinking possibly one of the vacuum hoses leading off the intake, any other suggestions?

Yeah it was random, I know.

Just about anywhere will have about the same vacuum. I think I recall some ports on my intake that are unused, look to see if your truck has them and if you can use them.
