Had a bad battery it was leaking acid for a good while until I could afford to replace the battery. Durring this time this battery acid leaked all over I love down 2 miles of bumpy dirt road and let's just say wow that stuff is nasty.I keep filling the battery with water and getting jump starts every time I had to go anywhere. Blah blah blah life happens just deal with it and over come. The result of this acid was it ate all the vac lines completely away from the battery down to the front axile 3 days of truck running nice but won't move and bing at some point my wife was sitting in the engine compartment just stairing at it like some sort of crazy person and 45 min of this and bing she has the answer to the problem.I had no clue because the lines were not there so I couldn't see anything broken. Wow that's crazy how just a small pin hole in a line the size of a coffee steer straw can cause such a problem but this was 3 + feet x2 lines gone the intake and return from the 4x4 drive axle actuator that puts it in and takes it out of 4x4. Every diagram I can find is a 2d pic of a bird's eye view of the lines is there a 3d diagram that will show the lines in realitve view of the other truck parts? I know there is a few T's and 2 check vaulves I'm just not sure where these lines all go outside of going to a junk yard and looking at one and hoping it has the lines intact I'm lost please help if you can or send me a link to a understandable diagram. PS. The one under the hood has long been gone. So nothing there.I have used other plastic lines to patch for 2 years but so much has been Jerry rigged idk where thay all go any more now my truck is running like dog shit I know I have a missfire but this is way worse I know it's a vac line. Please thanks p.S. I don't have $$ to go buy a new set I'll make some I just need to get a pic that I can understand of the lay out. Please and thanks and thanks for reading my story.I can make anything work 94% of the time with a little imagination and some stuff laying around if put 70000 miles on it with little to no new parts make it happen and keep moving forward.
