Ok, so I know where the vent tube is for the transmission and rear diff, but can't seem to find the front diff or t-case vent tube.
There is a rubber hose clamped onto the driver's side shock mount, with a plastic nipple of sorts plugged in the end... I'm assuming that is the front dif vent tube? If so, where on the dif is it connected?
And I had no luck at all finding the one to the t-case... I don't think. I did find a hose going to the t-case, but not sure if it's the vent tube, as I couldn't find the other end.
Any help would be great :D

and I did search... but no luck in the searches for these 2 vent tubes on a 2nd gen.

So the green-circled is for the transmission... is the one circled in red the vent tube for the t-case? I followed the hose, which ended at the back of the engine block, pretty much between the engine and the firewall. The hose also had a plug in it..
 






Was it plugged, or did it have a white "cap" on it?
 






it had a plug of some sort on it... not sure what color or anything, as it popped out when I yanked the hose out.

edit: are you asking about the hose I though went to the front diff? If so, then yes, it had a white cap of sorts in the end. And that is now somewhere on the ground around my truck.
