Default New here and sarting to fix up the RAM 1500 5.2ltr

Well my dad gave me his 97 Dodge 1500 5.2 truck and it has issue. I'll start to solve one at a time. When I start to accelerate the AC air switches from passanger vents to defrost vents. I know that has to be a vacuum leak some where. Is there a common area I need to look at? I havent messed with Vacuum controlled AC in a long time. Thanks Jeff

Post 31 and 55 show a couple locations for vacuum leaks.
One that isn't in that thread is where the vacuum lines hit a T, they go from the intake manifold, hit the T and one goes into the cab and the other goes to the passenger side somewhere. On that T there is a check valve that goes bad sometimes. The more common check valve is on post 31 of the thread I plugged.
