Hello,
There is a bundle of 3 hoses that is attached to a larger tube, possibly from the gas tank? The smallest of the 3 hoses has broken but I have no idea what it is for. Here is a picture,
the red circle shows where the hose is broken. The rest of the hose is sitting on the frame below the circle. This is looking from the back and you can see one of the lower tie rod on the back right wheel at the bottom of the picture.
The truck will run, though I have only moved it in the driveway. Nothing comes out of the hose when the engine is running. This may be one of the vent tubes from the differential or axel but I have no idea. A vent makes sense because the inside of the tube is completely dry and there do not seem to be any issues with it just hanging there open.
Can anyone let me know what this is and how I should go about repairing it?
