You can also get a vacuum leak from a crack in the vacuum reservoir under the cowl. Ask me how I know

Open the hood, see those grates at the base of the windshield? Toward the passenger side, under there, you will find the vacuum reservoir.

Didnt get around to that today, started the truck and warmed it up, when turning it off I heard a sucking noise inside the cab. Kinda sounded like it was right behind the climate control. Guess I found it lmao

Which line is the one for the vent selector, everything seems tight, jiggles everything and it kinda sounds like it's sucjing through my climate control, why did dodge make it like this, how hard would it have been for them just to take and put a cable from the climate control to the event selector

There are a selection of doors that the vent selector controls. Doing all that with cables would have been a drag. Easier to just use vacuum. (and cheaper too.)

Did you pull the HVAC control, and have a look at the backside?
