Sometimes it can be as simple as looking for a hose to that has come off or a broken fitting. This can be done by isolating different areas in the system.

If the above fails you need to measure the vacuum with a vacuum gauge. While the truck is running or how fast the vacuum dissipates when the engine is shut down. Then you use a MityVac (small hand held vac pump) to measure the different areas where the vacuum is supplied and fix the leak when you find it.

You Have A Vacuum Problem. It Sounds As If You Push The Gas For Power You Loose Vacuum Pressure To Your A/C. You May Have A Leak In The Hose, But This Should Give A Miss In The Engine. I Truly Suggest You Search For A Vacuum Leak First, Next Let An A/C Tech Check It Out. Or Even A Good Mechanic. It Almost Has To Be A Vacuum Problem. If Anybody Can Improve On This Please Do. Thanks !!!! & Good Luck To You
