I was messing with the truck today. Pretty positive no hydroboost. The pedal feels car-like, and the brakes/powersteering dont intertwine I dont think.

Good. My hydroboost on my psd was a pain in the ***

Vacumn runs the HVAC 4wd actuator as well as the cruise control I think.

Ohhh thats got me wondering. The cruise control doesn't engage (but the light on the wheel will turn on), and I cant control where the heater directs the heat. Sounds like I may have inadvertantly found the solution to 2 other problems here...
Now to track down that scandellous leak!
