2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Brake Question

[darkhorse]

I was getting set to wash mud off the underside of my truck & noticed a line by the rear axel I was not familiar with. It's in the attached image. Can any one tell me what it is & where it's supposed to be attached?

looks like the rear axle vent line. I am not sure of the original tie location but, I'd tie it up high where it is out of water spray.

Thanks! That makes sense to me. I'll crawl under it tomorrow & see if I can find where it came from.

Agree for sure the axle vent and does to be gotten out of he mud and slush if you can.

I just changed my shocks out this afternoon to new Bilstien's. While wrenching on the rear driver side upper shock mount I noticed my axel vent tube clipped to the top of the frame rail. If your clip is missing you can attach it anywhere high and dry. Hope this helps you out.



Cheers,

Thanks for the replies. I've got it covered now.

With the lift you have I doubt you will be able to put it as high as it was originally unless you put on a new longer hose, just leave enough slack for the truck to rebound. bg

I believe that is his stock height , That's what mine looks like

Some people add a fuel filter to block the water when you take your truck swimming.

Yes it is.
