Had some rear end body work done on my 2013 F150. Looks like they forgot to reattach the end of hose that clips to the frame somewhere. Well, I found a black male nipple attached to a cross member right above where the other end is attached to the differential. I assume this is where I attach the loose end? The only reason I ask is because other areas on the web where I searched said that this end doesn't attached to anything it's just clipped to frame. I assume the newer trucks have this nipple attached to the frame?
Thanks

You are correct. Older trucks had the hose snapped into a clip on the frame only. No nipple was provided. This vent is critical only when submerging the rear end in water or mud.

Anyone have a part # for this hose? over 10 years old now I've had it break off down at the axel a couple times now. I just cut off the 1/2 inch at the fitting and slide the hose back over. I figure 2 times is enough, i should go ahead and get a new one, but I cannot find anything older than 2014, and don't want to assume they are the same.

just being a vent hose for the diff Id go to the auto parts store and buy some hose by the foot, cut it down to what you need

I was going to do that, but then figured (with my luck) I’d damage the fitting at the cross beam some how and then be worse off for my efforts lol
