I hope you guys don't mind me asking a lot of questions, but what exactly is this part? I noticed I missing it now that I am hooking the engine back up. the bracket and the cable is there but the rubber boot thing isn't there. It's on the passanger side fender just about the battery tray.(this is just a picture of what it looks like. not my truck)

That is the vacuum actuator for the front axle engagement when in 4HI or 4LO.

What do you mean by "the rubber boot thing isn't there"?

so what you're saying is that the vacuum diaphram is torn and missing. that would be the "the rubber boot thing" in your pic.
