22017 F350 6.7, looses vacuum to front hubs

2017 f350 w/ 6.7. originally came in a month ago for no auto 4x4, guy didn't like locking hubs manually. found left hub seal bad, had to replace bearing and axle, very badly seized together. tested good, auto 4x4 worked great. a week later guy called said intermittent auto 4x4 and noise when engaged.

he brought back finally, found right front u joint broke, diff fluid silver from splines wearing out on rf axle and rf hub locker was leaking, sprayed with soapy water and with vacuum applied was foaming pretty bad. fixed all that, still no vacuum to hubs. checked vacuum actuator on back of reservoir both mechanicly and electricly, seemed good. checked vacuum from brake booster, good, checked vacuum from small manifold behind reservoir, good. vacuum coming from actuator was 13 inches of vacuum, checked vacuum at vacuum diaphragm, had over 8. no vacuum at wheels. put a vacuum pump to line going down to wheels, 4 inches of vacuum locked both hubs and it held. but when I hook that line up, nothing at bottom. bypassed diaphragm and just took vacuum from actuator same, service manager had me replace the actuator just in case, still nothing at hubs. and I can individually vacuum lock the hubs with the hand pump too. this thing should work, any one else have this issue. he's booked again for Saturday, but i'm at a complete loss why its not getting vacuum at the hubs if I have it at the actuator and can lock both hubs using a hand pump at the top.
thanks

Brian with FordTechMakuloco used to be on this forum, then he started a YouTube channel. He has a lot of videos on the Ford 4x4 problems and vacuum. Here is link to his channel search results for that topic. Hope it helps.
