No clue on this one folks...any help would be appreciated. Here is the info.
Drove the truck to the ski area this morning, no issues and all normal. I go to start it up like 5 hours later and she sounds like a diesel truck. Looked under the hood and nothing seemed out of place. Started it again and the same thing. I went to pull it out so I could get a better look as it was parked in mud and snow. The brakes were not boosted and very hard to push.
Other factors:
Temps running normal
No codes on the Ultra Guage
No engine or other lights
140K, 2000 D2
Oil changed 500 miles ago (T6 and an M1 301 Filter)
No fluids leaking
No smoke or steam out tailpipe
Never overheated
Head gaskets/timing done 40K ago
Not losing coolant
The lack of vacuum/boost for brakes has got me stumped with this one. I was thinking maybe the exhaust gasket, but have no idea what to look for on that, and no idea why it would just go like that.
Anything I could check would be highly appreciated folks.

Thats a crap oil filter for one.
Sounds like your brake vacuum booster is bad or there is a vacuum leak.

Definitely sounds vacuum related. The no power assist brakes mixed with a rough idle are a dead give away. Sort though the vacuum lines - check for cracks or unhooked lines at or around the booster. The leak should be large and rather audible to ear while the engine is running.
I would double check for codes. Maybe you turned the engine off before it had time to register a fault.

Really don't want to break that red piece on the vac line but doesn't want to budge easy and no specific info in rave. Can't make heads or tails fom the arrows and markings on it. Any tips?
Edit: got that hose out. Push/pull. Duh. Tired.
