Strang noise and hose?
I just noticed a odd noise under my truck and looked under it and saw a hose disconnected does anyone know what it's for? Or what the noise means?

The noise was probably the hose flopping around. The vent, from what I understand, it to allow some heat to vent out of the rear diff so it doesn't get too hot. I could be wrong 
, but thats the way I understand it.

Yepp that's the axel vent hose, allows heat to escape, mine broke when I swapped rear ends & has not affected mine. Plan to fix that on mine tomorrow. I would highly recommend fixing that because the nipple that it plugs to on the axel is hollow & if you drive through mud, rain puddle, etc.. It could allow water or mud to get into the rear end.
