I was coming out of the store to my truck when i noticed this hose was hanging down off of my axel. I don't know what it is for or where it goes. The inside of this hose seems dry so i don't know if it has been off for a long time or not. I drove it home disconnected and it seemed to handle fine. No problems braking either. Will it hurt to drive it like i did. Please tell me what it is and where it goes. Pictures should be up. :edit: all i see for my picture is a red X but i get that allot. So if you can't see the photo i try a different way. BTW it is a hose just left of the rear differential.

 

most likely the vent hose for the diff.

 

and the pic dont work

 

both post.....

if it is off the rear axle, then it is a vent tube....and i would be it is connected to the driver side of the axle....there is a clip on the driverside frame rail that holds it up...

 

Yea there is a clip on the hose and it is on the drivers side. Probably is a vent hose cuz there did not seem like any liquid was in there. Now i make sense why it was not connected to anything:-p thnkx a bunch

 

i had the same thing happen to me. it freaked me out lol. was just the vent, reclipped it and was fine
