Hey guys.

So question. I'm currently reassembling my engine, and there's a cable/hose/cord of some sort that I can't figure out its purpose?

It goes beneath the the engine at the driver's side, runs briefly next to the oil lines, and then turns near a bracket that holds the oil lines in place. From there it enters what looks to be a sort of wire loom, and towards the driver's wheel well. However, I cannot for the life of me find it's other end.

I took a pic of it. Anyone know what it is?

Vent for the front diff. You'll have another one on the back of the motor up against the firewall for the transfer case.

Huh. That would make sense actually. Hadn't thought of it being a vent tube. Any reason why it's capped off though? And is there a particular place it should be sitting or a clip it should be hooked into to hold it up?

Cap portion should turn/spin. There is plastic hoop dealie that fastens it to the the inner side of the main fender, between abs and front headlight. They break easy, mine's ziptied.

The cap movement I assume allows for venting.
