I ordered a smoke machine and a neutral safety switch. I believe I have a vacuum leak. Cruise won't engage now and vents go to defrost up a hill, didn't do that before.

So I smoked the truck. I remembered I broke two intake bolts and figured that is where my leak was. I was wrong. The intake is sealed and you can't do the little vacuum lines because of the check *****. I smoked it from the brake booster hose. No leaks other than the air filter housing it has a crack.

Then I did the EVAP lines as I did have an EVAP large leak code. Turned out the 90° connection about the vapor canister is leaking. Would I call it a large leak? No. I would call it a medium leak. Going to figure out how to fix that (as two hoses go into one and then makes a 90° bend). Once I do that, I will take another look at the fuel trims. My DRB3 is broken for good. I won't spend $2,500 for another one. My Autel, Foxwell, and WiTech take way to long to communicate and slow to refresh live data. I ordered a MT2500 off eBay for $500 and will use that to see fuel trims.
