On flat ground, (empty parking lot) put yout truck into neutral while idling, crank the wheel all the way to the left/right, hop out, and go to either front wheel (whichever is pointing out, give the truck a push against the tire rolling the truck a bit. You will clearly see wether the CV is spinning or not. when done, crank the wheel to the other side, check other CV. On my truck, the vaccum pressure hangs around for about 20 minutes when the truck is off. It is completely normal for the CV to be engaged after a while of the truck being turned off. (JAcking truck up, removing wheels, having beer, wiping shocks and then seeing CV's spinning.) Not a stress!
