The search I found stated the vacuum pump should produce 17-21" of vacuum. If the damper is in defrost is also a sign of not enough vacuum. A cheap hand operated vacuum pump will diagnose a bad hose or damper diaphragm, and could be used to show what the vacuum pump is pulling. What is the brake pedal like?

Is the truck a 4x4? If it is and it has the electronic shift on the fly (esof) it probably has bad hub seals which allow dirt to enter the vacuum lines and wear out the pump. Like Sean said it should be at least 15" of vacuum. Hope this helps.

I just checked and the A/C compressor is also engaged in any position except off-- not matter which position the selector is in EXCEPT off the a/c compressor is running
