you could have screwed up a vacuum hose or something along those lines. check under neath to make sure nothing came unplugged or you broke something. that's usually the first step

I did look under there and there is a vacuum line connected to the trans mounting plate to a nipple and there is another nipple there but nothing connected to it and no lines just hanging around unconnected.

One of the hoses is gone. There should be two. Both go to the CAD(vacuum motor) on the rear of the passenger side of the axle.

I have power washed the under side of my truck before and never had a problem. I guess it one of the thing that come with age.
