4x4 vacuum line connector

[963500]

Missing Vacuum line to line connector.
Was driving through TX and murdered a few tumbleweeds. Noticed yesterday that I think ones of those buggers may have taken out one of my vacuum line connectors next to the trans. Google and Ama$on aren’t helping me source it. It is one of the two vacuum line connectors just in front of the trans that lead to the 4x4 disconnect.
Thanks

Thanks. I think that is the whole piece.

Some have also deleted it and installed a more reliable posi-lock option. It's on my list. The vacuum can sometimes freeze up in cold weather. https://4x4posi-lok.com/app_dodge.html

Yup, had all sorts of trouble with my vacuum on my old ‘95. installed this and would have been great if I had taken their recommendation to purchase the additional fork. I worked most of the time but started poppin out when getting on it hard in 4 wheel drive. I assumed it was the wear on the old fork nylon pads.

Mine kept popping out due to water getting sucked into the diaphragm. After a few more failures, I went with the Posi-lok. It worked flawlessly. I recently pulled it out and went with a one-piece 35 spline axle and eliminated the CAD all together. I paid around $200 for the Posi-Lok. I may be willing to pass on the Posi-Loc for shipping and a case of beer.

Could try repairing the one that broke and then possibly enclosing both in a soft copper line secured to engine pan, allowing slack for suspension travel enclosed in flexible wire loom?

What'd you end up doing? Just wondering because I was checking engine compartment electrical connections and don't you know I broke a plastic hose about ⅛" from a rubber elbow. It was one on lip above firewall by cowl and pretty sure it works HVAC doors, I thought friggin awesome if I can't fix I'm either going to freeze or sweat. I got lucky and was able to pull about ¼" of the plastic tube from the elbow and slide a small clear hose over both plastic pieces and heat shrink overlapping areas then backup the piece in the elbow with a wire tie. Everything works, thankfully..

I had fixed that line so many times, I had to run a new line the last time. Fortunately I have open access through the top of my dashboard.

caught that, thanks for laugh. What a great way to put a silver lining on that cloud of the cracked dash.
