Question 2000 Ford F250 Diesel air cond problems

Just started todaynever have had a problem ever--heat/ac/fresh air all work -Air Cond and heat or vent ONLY come out of the DEFROST ducts not the floor or dash vents---checked pump it hums (maybe running but no vacuum is it bad?)checked hoses all seem to be connected under dash by glove box as well as engine compartment no loose hoses-- truck DOES NOT have Electronic air cond it has manual AC is there any ideas any one has?? Thanx FED 387

that makes sense kinda what I was thinking---No problem with heat or cold when the temp is adjusted it gets hot & cold--I never paid any attention to the pump before does it kinda vibrate a little while running ? or what--It definitely IS running just not sure if its making vacuum---any way to test it and how much vacuum is normal?? thanx for the reply

checked the hose nothing real apparent ---the pump was running while the engine was running ---how long is the pump supposed to run??---how much vacuum is this pump supposed to pull-- might just be a "worn out" pump hell its 15 years old-- just do not want to spend $45-60 bucks for a pump when its "only" a cracked leaking hose

The search I found stated the vacuum pump should produce 17-21" of vacuum. If the damper is in defrost is also a sign of not enough vacuum. A cheap hand operated vacuum pump will diagnose a bad hose or damper diaphragm, and could be used to show what the vacuum pump is pulling. What is the brake pedal like?

Is the truck a 4x4? If it is and it has the electronic shift on the fly (esof) it probably has bad hub seals which allow dirt to enter the vacuum lines and wear out the pump. Like Sean said it should be at least 15" of vacuum. Hope this helps.
