Thanks Jim, I installed Internet Explorer and it seemed to take care of what Pat called to you about.

Mark,

Make sure pump runs when you release vac from the res.
Thanks for the info Robin, it was horendous, I'll get my computer expert on that pronto, my wife,. Good luck Mark, will wait to see how you make out..

Sorry for not giving you proper credit for the pic, I think I looked at it atleast a dozen times today trying to diagnose a vacuum leak on my truck.

No need to credit me. Just using it is credit enough. The only reason I mentioned it was mine is because you beat me to it.

Anything I post, anywhere, becomes everyone's.

Mike,

Two of my friends had hard drives crash. I never have (knocking on wood), but their experience was a learning lesson for me. I back up my laptop to my desktop and backup the desktop to an external hardrive. Better safe then sorry.

And what do you mean by my info being horrendous.

Well, I checked all the connections today on both the HVAC line, line to hubs and also the connections under the dash on the passenger side and all were good.

Any other ideals were to look guys ?

Sorry Mark, can't think of anything new.

This sucks. Something so simple shouldn't be this difficult.

The vac res is holding vac isn't it?

The vac pump does run, doesn't it?

It only defaults to defrost in 4WD?

Thinking out loud and all I have are questions and no answers.

Do you know how long the vac pump should run when I start the truck up ?? maybe my vac res is not holding vac.

If you pull one of the vac lines out of the res and release the vacuum then when you turn on the key it should run a couple of minutes. There is a vacuum sensing switch on the pump that will shut it off at a certain vac level. If it runs continuosly then there is a vac leak. If it doesn't run at all check fuse #28 under dash.

Will do Mark, I will also snap a few pics of what I did to cure the same problem you are having. Just have to wait a few minutes till the camera charges up.

The pump ran for ~30 seconds and shut off. What I did was simply eliminate any vacuum lines for the ESOF since I don't ever plan on using it again. I'll get a few pics if you want but they don't show much. It is just one line from the vac. pump to the res. and from the res. to the HVAC line that goes into the cab. I eliminated all lines for the ESOF, even the one to the PVHS, which I feel was causing my vac. leaks and is probably causing yours.

I plugged the nipple on the knuckles and at the tank and then ripped all the vacuum lines out.
