That vacuum reservoir is also to supply the air intake door and defrost doors for the a/c heat.

looks like fiarly bad leakage current draining battery

after fully charging last night battery voltage was 13.5 after sitting 12 hrs overnight its down to 12.54 volts
gonna get a quick disconnect for time being , diagnose leakage cuurrent later.

charging again now, hopefully still starts

Do you have a remote start? There have been a bunch of people whose remote start systems drain the battery.

nope no remote start but ive done a bodykit that had me remove whole front clip and rear fenders, so lots of wiring couldve been pinched scraped chaffed.
as well ive put in new stereo and amp and subwoofer so it may have happened there too

Does your radio shut off with the truck? Did you use a wiring harness? I ask because you could have hooked up the power and accessory wires wrong.

yep radio goes off with truck

but now my front right boot is spewing grease through several small holes and my 4x4 wont cut in and abs lite came on

the abs lite and 4x4 were both a problem soon after i bought the truck
cant remeber right now how i fixed the 4x4 vacum problem but i also ended up replacing the IWE on both sides.
i think the abs was fixed by a shop, was a loose or chaffing wire

if i didnt already have about 6000 into this truck i would sell it

Your 4wd won't work without the solenoid that you busted.

6k? That was a terrible idea.
