I dropped it off with a mechanic Friday. This is exactly what he said is wrong, he said I have a loss of vaccuum... he says this is causing every problem with my truck, from it running rough, to the brakes not wanting to work 100%, to it idling high. He quoted me $350 to fix, as he has to dismantle the top half of the engine to get to the manifold.
He couldnt finish Friday, and is closed over the weekend, so he's supposed to finish it today.
