Not to change the thread topic but, already have the vacuum problem. Defrost only. Will be working on finding the leak this weekend. Since it is a V-10, it just has the vacuum solenoid? Am I correct to assume only the diesels have a vacuum pump? Again, thanks for all the help.

You probably already found the fix for that when you fix the auto hub vacuum leak. I think on gassers it all uses intake vacuum but I'm not positive. Don't know why they would need a second vacuum source. Anyway, the defrost only problem is the dead giveaway that you have a vacuum leak.

i suggest using a 1/8NPT plug into the knuckle, a nice brass one will do and this is what i did

and I unplugged the 4wd solenoid and actually ripped it out of my truck - this solenoid is located on the fender wall on pass side
