Transfer case vacumn line connectors

My 4WD all of a sudden STOPPED working the other day. I didn't have time to check it out until today.
Turns out the big ICE BLCOK that had accumlated under my truck has ripped the lines free from the connectors by the transfer case skid plate.

Sure, you'd think I could just RECONNECT them, but NO, it took one of the connectors with it.
Does anyone know WHICH connector connects to which metal fitting?

Also, the red hose connector is still there, but the black line connector is MIA. Where do I get a connector or what could possibly work instead?
I tried tape and a ziptie to no avail

When I encounter this situation I use a piece of rubber vacuum hose that fits over the plastic hose and metal line tightly.

Ok, but do you know which line goes where?

Thanks!

yup, that's how I'd do it, too. If all else fails, they have random vacuum collections in the ''help!'' section at the parts store. Could probably find something there for cheap.

Not at this moment, but I can certainly check the 96 or the 99 in the morning. I was just looking at them on a 95 today, and darn if I can remember....

Send me a PM in the morning if you still need the info then. Someone may answer better tonight.

There are only two choices, just find which combination turns on the 4wd light when the transfer case is in 4wd.

Looked under both my 96 and my 99. Red one is toward the front.

You mean you are under the truck looking in the area and didn't think to follow the 2 steel lines from where they meet the rubber lines at the front by the axle back less than 3 feet along the frame remembering which tube is which and which is connected to the red hose???
Just went threw that myself last week.
