I know I have a leak 'somewhere' since when ever I have the A/C on that dash vents will fluctuate between the front vents and the defrost
Really stinks when the outside temp is up like this past week.
What is the census on the best way to troubleshoot a leaking vacuum?
Anyone else have or had this and found maybe a particular area or componet that is more sustable to failure?
There are so many damn lines that it is hard to her this leak.

Btw, it is a 2000 V10 with aprox 109,000 on the dial.

thanks

My first guess would be the lines that service the locking hubs (assuming yours is 4WD).

I've known a couple folks who replaced all of the vacuum lines on a couple cars (not Excursions), and they both commented that the car "felt" much better afterwards. It might be time for yours.

YEA well this is still an issue
I have done all the testing I can find and am still coming up short!
I removed the vac res and just ran the lines together, at least doing this kept the vent control out the dash until i floored it on the test drive.
anything over 65mph or 22rpm also lost the vent to defrost direction
I am at a loss of what i am chasing.
I am starting to think it is more into the a/c controls then anything else

anyone have other ideas?
