    Vacuum lines

    Hey guys does anyone know where the vacuum lines on a 2500 with a 6L. Looking around can't find any. Does have hydroboost. Thanks for the help.

    not sure exactly what you're wanting, but there will be one on each valve cover.
    and one for the fpr to the top of the intake.

    Looking to put a vacuum gauge on it. I was comparing mine to the picture in my Chilton's book and the line coming off the intake was on the side.

    There are no vacuum lines....that's why they're hard to find. There are places you can connect a gauge....but why? Guess an older one will have one to the FPR.

    Thanks guys. It didn't look like I had any vacuum lines that I could see. I would like to put a vacuum gauge on to check the engine. GasGuzzler where are the ports to put a gauge on the engine?

    Not sure. I think there is a port or two that come plugged, you could break off the tip like others have suggested. Anyone have a pic?

    Found the port. It's on the passenger side about in the middle of the intake. Didn't even pay attention to it earlier. Thanks guys for your help. If I get time I will take a picture for everyone to see.
