As far as the vacume issue let me know if you find one because i want it also. I gave up on looking for it.
Now onto the photo issue, you can goto http://www.photobucket.com and sign up for a free account, once you've signed up you can upload photo's to your photobucket and host them from there. All you would do is copy and paste the link to the photo in one of your posts in here.
you're going to want to use an image tag in example [IMG] photo link here [/IMG]
and then you will see the photo in your post, Now if you're trying to upload your photos onto the dodgeforum website they have to be the correct file size and format if it isnt then it wont upload.
SO i'd suggest you use the photobucket website and host them from there, it will save on space and help keep the cost of the forum down to a minimum

Good luck finding a vacuum diagram. I looked for one a while back and it was one of the most frustrating experiences. I'll describe what I've got on my '01 1500 4x4 and maybe that will help.
Standing in front of the engine and looking at it:
On the right side of the manifold there are two nipples. One goes to the PCV valve and the other to the brake system.
On the left side a line comes off the top of the air hat and runs to the breather on the left valve cover. On the left side of the intake is a nipple that has a check valve connected to it. That line runs back to the firewall. Several lines slip off from that main line. One goes to the vacuum resivior. One is for the cruise control, one goes to the climate control system (this one also has a check valve) and the main line continues down to engage the four wheele drive.
Coming off the throttle body is the EGR tube that runs between the manifold and left valve cover, to the back of the engine, and circles back along the left fender to the EGR.
There are some other lines that are capped and at least one at the tranny but they must generate from the vacuum reservior. I hope this helps. A vacuum schematic would back it so much easier.
I've heard some people have the PCV on the other side of the engine which could be the case with yours.
Just ask and I'll help if I can. Best of luck.
