It sounds like the vent for the front differential but usually it terminates on the passenger side behind the airbox.

No the vent for that is just a rubber hose with a cap on it. This is a plastic line that is just like the line comming off the pump

i think its the vac vent line for the 4x4. the check valve is on it so it stays shut untill vented.

The green one is the vent line. Red and black go to the CAD on the front axle. White is the supply line from the vacuum pump. The left line facing forward on the CAD sucks 4WD on, the right line sucks 4WD off. In a politically correct, non-gender biased sort of way, of course....

If you're having any type of trouble with the CAD operation, I would recommend the Posi-Lok cable kit.

I have one on my truck due to faulty vacuum lines that I didn't have the patients to trace out or risk of other problems later.

Pull the cable out, 4X4 on. Push cable in, 4X4 off. It's that simple.
