Description of the problem	On saturday, march 8, 2008, i was traveling with my 2006 ford f-150 and stopped for gas. Upon engine restart i heard a backfire and smelled a peculiar odor. I checked under the truck and under the hood and found nothing unusual. I started the truck and didn't notice anything either. There was no check engine light or any other visual reference to indicate there was a problem. I got back on the highway and drove for approximately 2 hours (100 miles) and exited the highway. While on the exit ramp i applied the brakes only to discover that they were extremely hard to depress and were ineffective. I managed to guide the truck off the road while simultaneously applying the emergency brake and gearing down and was able to stop before hitting vehicles stopped at a traffic light at the end of the ramp. I discovered later (after being towed to a dealership) that the vacuum line from the intake manifold had ruptured (occurred when the vehicle backfired) leaving no power assist for the brakes. There was no check engine light. There was no brake warning light. There were no codes from the on board diagnostic computer. I had traveled for 2 hours and 100 miles with no brakes unaware of the existing hazard. The dealer could not explain the absence of any warning. I was fortunate to have been able to stop the truck and avoid an accident.
