Yes, there is a plastic vacuum supply line the runs from the intake manifold thru the firewall to the heater control panel. Check where that line attaches to the intake manifold. There is usually a stub of regular vacuum hose glued to the plastic line that can crack and leak at the manifold. If it's ok there, trace it into the truck. There may be a tee somewhere that is leaking inside, or else the connection at the mode switch or possibly the switch itself. Take the control panel out (you may have to pull the bezel off to expose the screws) and listen to the switch with the engine running. Try tugging on the lines to see if the leak gets worse. Worse case, you will need a new switch, but try to rule out any tees or hoses first. OK?

How to diagnose a vacumm problem?
Most vehicles have a check valve (one way valve) in the small vacuum line that supplies vacuum to the dash heat/air controls. If this fails (and quite common to do so) the vacuum operated controls act as you describe. Might try hooking up a vacuum gauge to see what is happening as you drive. Brake issue may be unrelated but if it is happening at the exact same time that is very strange. The brake booster has its own check valve, but a failure there would act just the opposite, as you might have some vacuum to make brakes work at first, but would quickly get worse. Color me stumped on that one.

2006 750li passenger defrost not working
BMW defroster works on vacumm so if you have air blowing from the dash vents when the seclector is on A/C and when on bi-leval the air comes out of the dash vents and the floor vents then you have a vacumm leak most likely a vacumm hose is off, Or due to the age of the car the engine heat causes the hoses to crack and break. the BMW V-8 engine has a problem with the rubber holder for the PCV valves cracking and leaking that causes very low vacumm pressure also check all of the vacumm lines that go through the fire wall most likely your problem is just a disconnected or broken vacumm hose or the PCV valve holders.

My air stays on defrost and floor after some time the air go's good for one min
If you have the manual a/c heat system the vent controls run off engine vacumm. If it goes to defrost when accelerating then you have a vacumm check valve that is faulty, if it is a permanent problem you may have a broken or leaky vacuum line or faulty control head(unit with knobs, ect)

Air conditioning not working. Blowing cool air in the back and hot air in the front.
Is there air blowing from the front vents? or can you hear the vacumm change when you change it from heat to cool..... I think it might be a vacumm problem... its a 1997 so the controller vacumm hoses may be cracking.. let us know

AC not cool
Check the a/c lines entering the firewall. Large hose should be cold and small line warm-hot.If o/k, may have vacumm leak to underdash control. If vacumm is lost the system will revert to heat and defrost. Could also be the air blend door is stuck. Maybe something dropped down defrost vent on dash. If this helps Please rate

goes 30 miles , then runs rough and dies, let sit starts and runs fine weather is cold both times, after warm up 30to 40 miles issues start happening. Let sit for an hour will start up run rough and smoth out like nothing happened, then all of a sudden the truck will feel like it dropped 2 cylinders and continue to get worse until it will completely stop. starting it up with in 10 mintes it will only run rough and go about a mile before it dies.
