Its probably the rear axle vent tube. Make sure there is nothing plugging up the barb that it broke from and replace it. Mine goes up through one of the bed crossmembers, but I guess you could mount it anywhere out of the way where stuff won't get inside.

Diff breather line...replace before you go mudding or into water...and like stated above ensure it does not become clogged.

Replace it ASAP if you live in the snow belt the salt spray will get in there.
