In cruise control pulling a hill most of the time you will hear and feel the mode switch as if it lost the suction then return when you have crested the hill. And some days it won't change modes at all.
Possibly bad check valves, minor leaks, or a combination of the two.

Just to double check, the flow of check valves should be to the intake, correct?

It's the coupler between the motor, and the axle for the blend door that usually cracks. Do a search on 'heater treater".

no the actuator does not move when hooked to the truck and I try to switch it from hot to cold but if I remove the actuator and probe power to each of the tabs of the connector on the actuator it works. the plastic rod that connects to the actuator is not striped

So is the control not sending power to the actuator?

My issue is my vacuum line from the check valve (off of the engine) that goes through the firewall is missing. I have pulled my climate control box and all of the vacuum lines are attached on the manifold. Is there another manifold that splits the line between the engine and the controller manifold? I've pulled my dash off about 3/4 of the way and I cannot find a broken line or anywhere where this line should connect to. Or do I just need to run a new line and connect directly to the main controller?

I *think* there is a diagram in the FSM, you can get one here.

I am trying to figure out where the line for the recirculation door actuator goes, previous owner has a new line on it ,but itis just dangling in the firewall.
