Earlier as i was walking up to my truck i noticed a hose hanging down in the front end. I get underneath and it goes into the top of the differential. The end that was hanging down looked like maybe it got caught on something and was torn right at a clamp. I routed it along the brake lines with the end facing down to avoid water getting into the diff. I'm guessing this is just a breather, but not 100% sure. Do I have anything to worry about or is this fine?

There should be a metal clip on the end of the hose the clips on to the shock tower.

The hose should not be upside down as it has a plastic check valve on the end to prevent water from getting in.

no just clip it up with a zip tie to the shock tower the clips come off easily. clip it anywhere actually i see you have a 4 inch lift it might have jsut pulled it off because your truck sits higher. tie it to the frame really anywhere and youll be fine.

I would make sure the plastic check valve is in the end of the tube.

I agree! Mud daubers may create a blockage in the tube if you leave it open to the elements.
