No I don't think so cause the brakes are fine and there's no fluid coming out of it.

well, without the vacuum hooked up, your tire is gonna be locked in 4x4.

there's a thread about it somewhere else. it's a new truck, same principle.

don't screw up your 4x4 man...

glad you figured it out.

Yep.."plugs" in directly on top of the hub..I had mine come off when I was installing my 1.5" level on top of my 6" BDS...it stays okay now but I was originally like WTF? haha. Least it wasnt a brake line..although you would have known immediately...in a bad way.
