Welcome aboard!
Did you bleed the system out? Could have air in it.

Yes i have bleed the system and am sure there is no air in system i am thinking that the vaccum pump may be bad but it seems to have plenty of vaccum i have no way of checking it or know what the vaccume should be.

does your heater vents work, can you select floor or defrost, my power stroke vacuum pump went out and i had no power brakes and the heater vents were stuck on defrost, that is one way u can tell if u lost vacuum bc the blend doors work off of vacuum
