Unhappy Help Lost Power brakes

Hey guys. hope this is in the right spot.

I seafoamed a 2005 5.4 gas SD through the brake booster hose. It has 142xxx miles on it.
It stalled out like normal and blew some smoke out of the vaccuum hose.
Buttoned up everything and let it sit 20 minutes. Went to go drive the snot out of it and found out I have no vaccuum on that line anymore.
No power brakes!
A/c adjusts like it should and power steering is working fine.

Anybody have any clue what I messed up. Im not real familiar with the fords. Its my company work truck.

Thanks for any help

Did you accidentally break the vaccuum adapter on the brake booster when you took the hose off?

Nope. There's a "t' fitting right there. Pulled the rubber hose off that runs from the "t' up over the top of the intake and added a longer piece of hose to the "t" to make it easier to get to the can. Had vacuum before I started and while sucking in the seafoam. Now if I pull the hose back off, there's no vacuum at the "t' fitting anymore. Seems to be a hard line running around to the back of the block but I have no clue where it goes.

Sounds like there is a blockage in the vacuum line somewhere. It must have sucked something up when you disconnected it.
