My 2005 E450 did the same thing.
The a/c vacuum line check valve is not working.
The repair pays 15hrs, since the A/C case has to be removed.
I checked mine with a vacuum pump. The check valve and the vacuum reservoir were bad.
I cut a hole in the right front fender well to access the vacuum hoses.
I replaced the check valve and relocated the new vacuum reservoir to the inside of the fender.Since I could not remove the OEM reservoir.
The sheet metal was pushed back into place and sealed with Eternabond.
