The vacuum system is not all that complex on your truck (EVAP system aside). You will have a vacuum line running from the engine to the check valve/'t'. From there, it will run to the HVAC system (into the firewall), the vacuum reservoir (ball), and to the 4wd system (down to the transfer case) if so equiped.

It goes into the cab and controls your HOT/COLD door flap and selector switch for your in cab heat. Its up under the dash and might not be easily accesable but is doable.
