Default 4wd Help?

I'm currently trying to repair my 4wd system. I used your search function and I am referencing everything from this thread here..


https://blazerforum.com/forum/tech-a...ill-help-7180/

My symptoms are as stated in this section..

You keep saying vacuum, where does this vacuum come from?
Good question. It comes from the engine. I wont go into how the engine creates it, just know that it does.
There is a vacuum port on the back side of the intake manifold next to the distriburator. This provides vacuum to more then just your 4x4 system, it also provides power to your HVAC (heater and A/C controls), and a few other things. There is a tee fitting shortely behind the distriburator, look for it. It splits the vacuum, one hose goes down to the t-case, one hose to the center of the firewall and feeds your HVAc system, and one hose oges to the big black ball. A leak in any of those hoses will cuase your 4x4 to stop working, and you might have trouble with your HVAC controls.
The problem is I'm having problems local this Vacuum T and was wondering if anyone had a actual picture or write up of how to service it correctly and what it looks like. All my problems are exactly as that section describes it. Thanks again for any help.

this is what the tee looks like. its close to the firewall on the right hand side if your looking at it from the grill. follow the lines and make sure they arnt cracked or worn out.

Well, guess this is going to be more of a challenge than I gave it credit for. As soon as I touched the piece coming off the check valve down onto the firewall is literally disintegrated in my hand. Is there a vacuum diagram on this site for this particular system? Also, I can't find where it goes down into the firewall.

not really a big deal. vaccum line is easy to find. just pull it off and replace. if you google vaccum diagram blazer it will pop up.

What about the piece going onto the firewall? Where does it attach to the firewall?
